We are specialised in customised innovative solutions in the field of third rail shoegears for suburban rail, metros and rapid transit rail.
Thanks to its large cross-section, the third rail can transmit high current densities. It is always used when an overhead wire for roof-mounted pantographs cannot or should not be installed. The maximum vehicle speed with third rail shoegears is approximately 120 km/h. Deployment and retraction can take place manually or by remote control, i.e. through mechanical or pneumatic systems. The contact to the conductor rail can be made from the top or the bottom or even from the side.
Our third rail shoegears are in everyday use in local rail networks of the big cities regions and metropolitan areas.
STEMMANN-TECHNIK develops a perfect system for every vehicle type, for every vehicle model and railway network. We realise individual customizations for any application professionally and in time.
Technologies:
Pneumatic systems are powered by compressed air. The deployment and retraction to the conductor rail and attachment of the current collector is controlled or initiated centrally from the driver’s cabin.
Inductive or mechanical proximity switches are used for detecting the shoe position. Pneumatic systems can also be actuated with insulated hand levers using the emergency function.
Mechanical systems are operated manually. The deployment and retraction of the current collector to the rail conductor is done individually – with the help of an insulated hand lever.
