For decades, Güde GmbH has been synonymous with precision, reliability and deep technical expertise in the production of retaining elements for rail vehicles and railway infrastructure. Our components are used across the globe – from Berlin and London to Shanghai and beyond. Wherever safety, quality and long-term durability are essential, Güde is a trusted partner for manufacturers, operators and infrastructure providers.
A significant part of our portfolio is based on standardised spring washers manufactured according to Deutsche Bahn specifications, including DB Iog 30.7000, BN 208 012, and BN 208 010. These components are essential in ensuring secure, vibration-resistant connections in both rolling stock and track infrastructure. In addition to these established standards, we offer a wide range of customised solutions tailored to specific technical requirements. Whether larger diameters, reduced installation heights, single, double or triple-wound geometries, or special materials – our production processes allow us to meet customer specifications with maximum precision and efficiency. Where technically feasible, we manufacture exactly according to customer drawings, from unique prototypes to large-scale series production.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, combined with extensive material expertise and rigorous quality assurance, enables us to supply international railway projects that must comply with the highest safety and performance standards. Güde retaining elements are used in high-speed rail networks, metro systems, freight corridors and critical infrastructure projects worldwide. Their reliability under dynamic loads, extreme environmental conditions and long service lifetimes makes them an essential part of modern rail engineering.
As the railway industry continues to evolve – driven by digitalisation, sustainability goals and global infrastructure expansion – Güde remains committed to delivering fastening technology that meets the demands of tomorrow. Our products help ensure that rail systems around the world operate safely, efficiently and sustainably.
