Arc protection and winter contact strips - innovations for long-lasting contact strips
Our latest development, a patented contact strip with magnetic arc protection, revolutionizes the reliability of power transmission in rail transport. This innovation minimizes arc damage, drastically reduces repairs and breakdowns and thus increases the availability of your rail fleet.
With the winter contact strips from Schunk, you can defy the adversities of winter. These are equipped with an ice scraper made of high-quality copper, which is characterized by its gentle interaction with the overhead contact line. In this way, our winter contact strips ensure a perfect, uninterrupted connection with the overhead line without any damage.
With Schunk's innovations for contact strips, you can ensure smooth rail operations in frost, snow and freezing rain by minimizing arcing and extending the service life of the contact strips. The ice scraper contact strips in particular drastically reduce the need to run glycerine before the actual start of traffic, which reduces both labor and personnel costs.
