Schunk Bahn- und Industrietechnik:
Intelligent solutions for buses and trains
Schunk is developing advanced charging points and current collectors
for battery-powered public service buses as part of a project
entitled “Rapid Charging Systems for Electric Buses in Public
Transport (SEB)”, which is being supported by the Federal Ministry
of Education and Research. The Supercap batteries installed at bus
stops will in future be used to supply a powerful charge to buses fitted
with a pantograph, but without interfering with regular services.
With its “Intelligent Carbon for Pantographs” this exhibitor has developed
a wear reporting system that uses sensors to monitor the
wear on the contacts on electrically powered rail vehicles. The system
reports when the wear has reached a critical point but allows
sufficient time for the contacts to be replaced. “Intelligent Carbon
for Pantographs” offers considerable potential for savings on the
cost of maintaining and repairing contacts, because, as the developer
points out, the intervals between the visual checks can be extended
quite significantly.

SCOMA: A sealing ring for extreme conditions
To ensure that trains can operate effectively even under extreme
conditions the French company SCOMA has joined with other European
partners to create a new sealing ring. According to the developers,
this innovation, which is being shown to the world for the first
time at InnoTrans 2012, is the only product of its kind on the world
market that can guarantee a 100 per cent effective seal over a temperature
range from -50 to +80 degrees Celsius, -58 to +176 degrees
Fahrenheit. The new SCOMA ring provides all the properties of a
standard sealing ring as well as functioning effectively under extreme
conditions, according to the exhibitor. Two sizes are available,
with diameters of 27 and 40 millimetres. SCOMA has been supplying
the Russian vehicle market with safety components for several
years. The very challenging climatic conditions for example in
Siberia, Alaska and North Canada presented the developers of this
sealing ring with special challenges.
