Noise attenuation also plays an ever greater role in railway traffic nowadays. Noises arise through wheel-on-rail contact, on the one hand as a result of the rolling and microscopic sliding movements by the wheels on the rails and, on the other hand, through intensive slipping and sliding in tight curves. For both cases we offer suitable wheel vibration absorbers that absorb and dissipate the vibration energy.
Our inhouse-designed absorber systems are specially matched to the application in question as well as to the wheel material. On request, we also conduct on-site measurements and laboratory testing in this connection.
Radial vibration absorbers
Primarily to attenuate rolling noise
Axial vibration absorbers
Mainly to eradicate screeching noises in tight curves, particularly in local, short-distance traffic applications
The installation of the absorbers normally requires special preparation of the wheels. In some cases however, suitable fastening devices are also sufficient, especially when retrofitting to existing wheel systems.
