Optimising Railways with Mersen
Mersen’s wide range of railway equipment is designed to cater to a diverse range of railway systems, from high-speed trains to urban transit systems. Each type of railway has unique requirements, and Mersen’ solutions are tailored to meet these specific needs.
With a global presence in the both the railway and metro markets, Mersen has successfully established itself through its innovative carbon-based solutions.
Carbon Brushes for Urban Transit Systems
In the ever-evolving landscape of rail transport, the advent of carbon technology marked a significant leap forward.
Mersen’s cutting-edge carbon brush solutions are at the heart of this transformation, driving both the railway and metro sectors towards a more efficient and sustainable future.
Urban transit systems need durable and efficient carbon brushes for their electric motors. Mersen’s carbon brushes are engineered to deliver optimal electrical conductivity and minimal wear, ensuring smooth operation and longevity in the demanding urban transit environment.
Brush-holders for Freight Trains
Freight trains, which often carry heavy loads over long distances, require robust brush-holders that can endure the rigours of heavy-duty use. Mersen’s brush-holders for freight trains are built to provide stable and secure housing for carbon brushes, ensuring reliable electrical contact and minimal downtime. Their durability is key in the harsh conditions often encountered in freight rail operations.
Pantograph Contact Strips for Mountain Railways
Mersen’s current collectors, or pantograph contact strips, are essential for the overhead power collection in electric railways. They ensure a continuous and stable connection between the train and the overhead lines. Made from advanced materials, they offer high durability and reduced wear, contributing to efficient and uninterrupted power supply.
With altitude and snow, mountain railways operate in challenging environments and require pantograph contact strips/current collectors that can withstand extreme conditions. Mersen’s pantograph contact strips for mountain railways are designed to maintain consistent contact with overhead lines, even in the face of steep inclines, sharp turns, and varying weather conditions.
Railways Fuses for High-Speed Trains
Mersen’s railway fuses are designed to protect against overcurrents and short circuits, ensuring the safety of both the electrical systems and the passengers.
High-speed trains require railway fuses that can handle the intense electrical demands and high-speed operations. Mersen’s railway fuses for high-speed trains are designed to provide reliable protection against overcurrent and short circuits, ensuring the safety and efficiency of these fast-moving trains.
Pantograph Contact Strips for Intercity and Regional Trains
Intercity and regional trains need reliable contact strips for efficient power transfer. Mersen’s pantograph contact strips are designed to ensure consistent electrical conductivity and durability, essential for the smooth operation of these trains over varying distances. Pantograph contact strips are tailored to handle the varying speeds and electrical loads typical of intercity and regional rail services.
