Rail Applications
We aim to provide a safer, more comfortable ride on the world's railways by providing customer-specific antivibration and suspension systems fine-tuned to the needs of railway manufacturers and operators.
In the railway industry Trelleborg Industrial AVS is best known as supplier of primary and secondary suspension systems, centre control mountings, centre pivot bearings, control links and drive couplings for every type of application from trams and light rail to heavy freight locomotives.
For secondary suspension, the company offers a variety of products including all-rubber hourglass bearer springs and airspring systems, while Chevron and springs are typically used in primary suspensions.
Many applications require a custom-designed solution and one of our major strengths is its experience in analysing and modelling suspension system characteristics to achieve optimum performance.
Problem solving, including measuring and testing, is performed by our Rail Application team who will assist you in finding the best solution. The Application team also conducts training for our customers.
