In the ever-evolving world of rail transport, the demand for quieter, smoother, and more efficient rail systems is higher than ever. A game-changing innovation comes from the company of Schrey & Veit (S&V) in Germany.
The S&V Rail Damper stands out as a revolutionary solution, addressing the dual challenges of noise pollution and rail corrugation growth. This innovative technology, with its unique advantages, is poised to become an essential component in rail networks across the globe.
Precision in Vibration Control
One of the most remarkable features of the S&V Rail Damper is its ability to offer customised tuning. Through meticulous selection and exchange of steel and rubber plates in its own laboratory, the damper can be precisely adjusted to meet the specific requirements of any rail system.
This customisation enables independent tuning of vertical and lateral vibrations, ensuring optimal performance regardless of the rail profile and track specifics.
The result?
Significantly less noise pollution, enhanced smoothness in rail operations, noticeably reduced wear and tear on tracks, and an overall improved ride quality for passengers.
Fast and Secure Installation with Patented Technology
The S&V Rail Damper also sets itself apart with its patented installation method. Unlike other systems that rely on adhesives, our dampers are secured using a patented, thermally treated fixture clip made from high-strength spring steel. This innovative design ensures a quick and easy installation process that requires no glue, making the deployment both faster and more reliable. The durability of the spring steel clip means that the damper remains securely in place, even under the most demanding operational conditions.
Versatility Meets Maintenance-Free Operation
Designed with versatility in mind, the S&V Rail Damper is suitable for both ballasted and slab tracks, and it can be adjusted to fit all rail profiles. Its maintenance-free design is another key advantage, as it eliminates the need for ongoing operational materials, resulting in significant cost savings and reduced downtime. The straightforward installation process, made possible by the patented clip system, allows for rapid deployment with minimal disruption to rail services.
Out of Sight, Safe, and Industry-Compliant
In addition to its functional benefits, the S&V Rail Damper is designed to be discreet and secure. It is installed in such a way that it remains out of sight, reducing the risk of vandalism, and does not obstruct regular rail track maintenance. Moreover, the damper is fire-resistant and does not interfere with common train control systems, ensuring that it can be integrated seamlessly into existing rail infrastructure. Homologated for use across multiple rail networks, the S&V Rail Damper meets the highest industry standards, making it a safe and compliant choice for rail operators.
Solution for Complex Needs
The S&V Rail Damper is more than just a technological innovation – It’s a comprehensive solution that addresses the complex needs of modern rail systems. With its ability to provide customized vibration control, a patented, glue-free installation method, versatile and maintenance-free design, and secure, compliant features, the S&V Rail Damper is setting a new standard in rail track performance. It does not only promises quieter and smoother operations but also ensures that rail systems remain efficient and reliable, meeting the demands of the future.
