Minimized complexity: Meet all track construction requirements, ensure compatibility with existing systems, and reduce potential conflicts on the track during maintenance

M-Generation tension clamps – secure and reliable for every track

Worldwide it can be observed that the respective frequency of usage on railway tracks are increasing. As a result, rail defects and frequency breaks in the clamps happen more often. At the same time, automated trains always accelerate and decelerate at the same points, leading to concentrated stress on the tracks. Furthermore, due to the high utilization rate of the trains, maintenance intervals are becoming increasingly difficult to adhere to. The wheel/rail contact can suffer as a result, and uneven wheels are just one of the problems that arise from this. With the M-Generation tension clamps you deal with all of these challenges. 

 

Increased natural frequency: 
  • Significantly enhance the robustness of the tension clamps against external influences over an extended period of time
  • Ensure long-term stability and durability of the rail fastening system
Enhanced torsional resistance:

  • Torsional resistance increased multiple times to improve tracking stability

  • Provide maximum track stability for slab and ballasted tracks
Improved mechanical properties: 
  • Enable better absorption of dynamic forces, reducing wear on the tracks
  • Higher fatigue strengths offer the possibility of increasing the elasticity of the rail
Improved life cycle costs: 
  • A new micro steel alloy increases service life and leads to lower life cycle costs, making the M-Generation a cost-effective solution

Angled Guide Plate High Torsional Resistance (HTR)

For a safe future in rail despite increasing global warming, we developed a special angled guide plate to make rail fastening systems even more sustainable. 

Superior torsional resistance: improved by over 400%, providing extreme lateral track stability, ideal for bridges and transition areas due to additional compressive forces in the rail

Optimal performance in tight bends: increased safety against track buckling and reduced wear on the angled guide plate 

Consistent speed: no speed reductions necessary after tamping process, ensuring track availability

Cost-effective alternative: possible alternative to ballast filling in front of sleeper head, reducing resources and costs

Special applications: suitable for use in mud regions or white ballast areas
