Railway Control Solutions
In order to bring your passengers safely to their destination, you need technology that you can count on.
The drive-brake controllers and joysticks that we manufacture specifically for the railway sector are robust and designed to provide fault-free operation for a life cycle spanning several decades.
The railway industry is a multifaceted sector. With main line trains, regional trains, trams, subways and maintenance-of-way equipment, countless numbers of people and goods are transported each day. Safety above all else plays an essential role. Therefore, the reliability of our control technology is worth its weight in gold.
Railway drive-brake controllers FBS, NS00, NS20
We developed the special FBS drive-brake controller for the railway sector. It is distinguished by its modular ergonomic design and resistance to ozone and UV radiation, which make it very durable. We implement the dead man function, partly mechanical-electrical, partly with capacitive sensor and evaluation electronics, depending on the handle shape.
Of course, we also produce custom joystick solutions. We combine such finesses as mechanical reset blocks, multiple detents and numerous positively actuated contacts.
Joysticks
Joysticks are also used in the railway sector. Usually our reliable and versatily ST0 and VNS0 controllers are the basis in this regard. They are based on our intelligent modular system and can be produced in series or custom solutions. Metal gears and metal cast drive blocks make them extremely robust.
Of course, we adapt the functionalities to suit your requirements. Would you like a step switch or a switch with self-resetting? How many locking contact and momentary contact positions do you need? Which double contact elements, microswitches, optoelectronic sensors and Hall sensors should be used? What special details, such as silver or gold contacts or designs must we factor in?
Operator Control stations
Spohn + Burkhardt offers a comprehensive line of control station solutions for rail and maintenance-of-way equipment. Our control stations are highly customizable to meet your specific requirements. With a focus on flexibility, we offer a wide range of options for device integration, including joysticks, push-button controls, and switches, to ensure that each station is tailored to your operation.
