Roof-mounted Pantographs

roof-mounted pantographs for tramways, trains, special vehicles, suburban railways, metros, traction units (emus) and locomotives are developed for different overhead line-systems and speeds, whereas the raising to and lowering from the overhead line is realised by an electrical or a pneumatic drive acc. to customer’s requests.

the continuous contact force to the overhead line at higher speeds is realised either by mechanical aero foils or by an especially developed electro-pneumatic control. if requested an emergency dropping device is quoted which lowers the pantograph as quickly as possible at collisions with the overhead line.
