Rail Applications – Our Products:

Coupling Buffers
- Regenerative: Automatic return to the original position, no replacement needed after impact
- Preloaded: High triggering force, controlled energy distribution
- Variable: Adjustable force-displacement characteristics (linear, progressive, nearly horizontal, or degressive)
- Mode of Operation: Works on compression, tension, or both; optionally with or without guide tube.

Buffers for Front and End Buffers
- Regenerative: Automatic return to the original position, no replacement needed after impact
- Customizable: Adjustable force-displacement characteristics
- Mode of Operation: Typically works on compression, but can also work on tension; optionally with or without guide tube.

Destructive Deformation Elements
- High energy absorption
- Compact design
- No pre-tensioning device
- No reset mechanism
- Low maintenance
- Behavior ranging from nearly speed-independent to speed-sensitive
- Can also be combined with deformation tube, deformation cartridge, or deformation bellows.
