Connection solutions for the railway industry

The braking system on a train carrying passengers or freight must be as efficient as possible. This is achieved by enhancing the train's electric braking system with pneumatic braking. Continuous monitoring of these crucial circuits is essential. 

Our pneumatic quick-release couplings for taking pressure readings and conducting levelling tests offer excellent performance and absolute security. 

In addition to its role of supporting the bodies, the bogie also provides braking, suspension of the whole train, and sometimes traction depending on the type (motor bogie or carrier bogie). Essential to maintaining the stability of the train through curves, it also ensures passenger comfort.  

Stäubli's comprehensive range of quick connections guarantee reliable functionality. 

Unlike traction, braking is distributed across all vehicles that make up a train. A pressurized brake pipe travels the full length of the train, transmitting pressure to the system. The pneumatic quick-release couplings between each car ensure connection of the lines for optimal air transfer.

The arrival of hydrogen trains and the introduction of alternative energy battery trains are intended to replace diesel locomotives and self-propelled vehicles operating on non-electrified parts of the network.

These new rolling stock are equipped with high performance battery packs requiring a high level of cooling of the electronic components present inside.

Our compact and clean-break quick connection solutions guarantee a long-term flawless seal for your thermal management circuits.

Just like the battery pack and converters, the traction motor is a key element of railway rolling stock. In constant demand, its electronic components are exposed to overheating, meaning effective cooling is essential to preserving functionality and guaranteeing service continuity. Efficient quick-release couplings for cooling circuits contribute to the performance of the electrical motors.  

The longevity of a locomotive requires optimal engine maintenance. In addition to providing lubrication, the oil protects the engine and combats the corrosion of various metal parts.

To ensure the proper functioning of locomotives and rolling stock, it is vitally important to check the level of oils and other fluids on a regular basis and to fill and drain as required.

Our quick and dry disconnect couplings are your ally in these crucial operations.

To transport liquid and gaseous products from their manufacturing area to their storage area, rail transport is very often used. Fully equipped, the tank cars are the safest way to complete this operation. Loading/unloading and handling of these products requires a high level of reliability and safety.

Our full-flow and clean break connection solutions are designed to ensure user safety and environmental friendliness.

Door controllers, drinking water circuits, kitchen equipment, air conditioning systems, fire sirens... there are many applications that require rapid maintenance and therefore a suitable connection solutions. Reliable quick connectors are essential to ensuring safety on board.
