Subway Transportation

Rail and subway systems use controlled linear motion in doors, maintenance equipment and auxiliary mechanisms.

Subway Transportation
Application overview

Precision where the industry needs it

Roller screws have various applications in the field of rail transportation, enabling efficient and reliable operation. For example:
Train Doors: Roller screws are utilized in the opening and closing mechanisms of train doors. They provide precise linear motion, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the doors while maintaining passenger safety.

Pantographs: Roller screws are used in the raising and lowering mechanisms of pantographs on electric trains. They enable accurate positioning of the pantograph, allowing for efficient current collection from the overhead power lines.

Sliding Doors: Roller screws are employed in the sliding mechanisms of train interior doors. They ensure smooth and precise movement of the doors, enhancing passenger convenience and safety during boarding and alighting.

Adjustable Seats: Roller screws are integrated into the seat adjustment mechanisms on trains. They allow passengers to easily adjust the seat position, providing comfort and ergonomic support during the journey.

Leveling Systems: Roller screws are applied in the leveling systems of trains, particularly in high-speed trains. They assist in maintaining a stable and level ride by adjusting the suspension and leveling mechanisms, ensuring passenger comfort and safety.etc.
