Third Rail Electrification for Mass Transit Systems (3rd Rail Transit)

Описание: Aluminum Stainless Steel Third Rail for Mass Transit Systems. We manufacture our energy efficient third rails with pride in the USA, Brazil, and China to serve the world’s transportation infrastructure.

Millions of passengers around the globe rely on rail mass transit systems to get to their destinations. The third rail that powers these systems must be adaptable, reliable, electrically efficient, and trouble-free. There are over five thousand kilometers of aluminum stainless steel third rails in use worldwide. This represents over 40% of all global third rail systems. Aluminum Stainless Steel power rails provide much lower resistance and greater electrical efficiency versus all steel third rails. The weight of aluminum rails is only 14% that of electrically equivalent steel rails. Rugged, corrosion-resistant stainless steel capped aluminum third rails provide excellent wear resistance and long life. We weld the stainless steel cap at the sides of the rail, which provides a smooth, imperfection-free running surface. The wrap-around cap ensures a tight bond between the stainless steel cap and aluminum conductor over a wide thermal range.

Conductix-Wampfler manufactures aluminum stainless third rails at our ISO9001-:2008 certified plant in Harlan, Iowa in the USA. We have auxiliary manufacturing operations for welded cap third rail in Brazil and China as well.
