    equipment:  

that´s all you need ...

Up to switch relations of 1:11 for switches in good working condition it is sufficient to equip one pair of BASICEKOSLIDE (2 rolls).

If the switch is longer, it will be equipped  every 8 m with an additional pair of SUPPORTEKOSLIDE (one roll). 

(For exact positioning please see our installation manual.)

EKOSLIDE in the switch

Wir liefern Ihnen Produkte, die halten, was wir versprechen!

 

While the switch moves, the EKOSLIDE – switch rolls lift the switch tongue by an height of 1 - 2 mm. The regulation is made by an adjustable spring pack.  

The regulation screw is protected by a counter nut and is positioned at the bottom of the device, where it is protected by the ground material. 

So the working of the tamper machines is possible without problems. EKOSLIDE will not be damaged and therefor doesn´t have to be removed. 

The regulation screw is mainly used at the installation process and so doesn´t have to be handled later.

   
    A re-regulation of the device is hardly necessary because:     
   
  • EKOSLIDE is installed only on the tracks and is not fixed on the sleepers. So the system is independant of the material movements.

  • The elastic closing by the climb guarantees a reliable fixing that is not influences by vibrations.  Our closing provides more than the necessary closing power of 5000 N, that is necessary for the high speed lines. 

  ask for the test report of the EKOSLIDE- closing
    At the open switch, the switch tonge is supported by the spring packs of EKOSLIDE which absorb vibrations and provide an additional stabilization of the tongue.  

While closing the switch, EKOSLIDE lifts the switch tongue and enables it to move without friction.

When the train passes, the spring packs are pressed down and the switch tongue comes back to the slide plates. So the weight of the train remains on the slide plates. EKOSLIDE is not carrying the weight of the train but only the weight of the switch tongue.

It is dimensioned exactly for this purpose and guarantees with its 4 - 7 kg as well a reliable functionan as also an easy handling. 

  reliable function and easy handling by exact dimensioning
         
    These is the data we need to order the correct EKOSLIDE for your switch:      
   
  • height of the slide plate (difference between the height of the switch tongue and height of the railtrack) 
  • length of the switch (if existing also radius)
  • track type (for non-standard types may be helpful a scheme)
