Customised wire ropes for railway applications
Bartels manufactures customised wire ropes for the railway sector - from flexible wire ropes for lifting devices on pantographs to high-strength, rigid guy wires for pantograph constructions. We also offer or assemble special wire ropes with customised end terminations in any length.
Examples of railway wire ropes
Flexible wire ropes with short threaded terminals
Bartels manufactures flexible and highly flexible wire ropes with compact end connections, so-called terminals - tested for breaking load and made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel materials.
The picture shows a threaded terminal with an inserted wire and long thread length. After pressing, the thread is applied using a rolling process to ensure a particularly high load-bearing capacity of the threads. Highly specialised machines are used for secure pressing.
Whether individual parts, series production or prototyping - everything is possible. Rely on proven standards with experience or work with us to develop a customised solution for your application.
Tensioning wires
Bartels manufactures current connectors made of high-quality copper mesh in flat or round design - customised in length and with specific end connections.
These current connectors enable the reliable transmission of high direct currents in moving components of a current collector and prevent undefined current flow via bearing elements.
In order to realise compact sizes and at the same time ensure sufficient cross-section for current transmission, current connectors are often used in double or triple parallel.
Bowden cables
BARTELS manufactures customised Bowden cables to meet your exact requirements - from the length and diameter to the choice of material, transmittable force and corrosion resistance. Our solutions are specially adapted: individual end connections, optimised bending radii and outstanding ease of movement are a matter of course. As experts in Bowden cables for railway technology and related industries, we create customised systems that offer maximum performance and reliability even for demanding tasks. You can rely on our many years of experience and technical expertise to precisely implement your specific requirements. Contact us to find out more about our customised Bowden cable solutions.
Wire ropes with calibrated connections
BARTELS manufactures customised wire ropes with standard or special terminations - precisely adapted to your project requirements. We plan and manufacture special terminations ourselves so that you receive customised solutions that perfectly match your connecting bolts, forks or specific fork widths. Our end connections are calibrated to high tolerances to ensure a precise and reliable connection. Using state-of-the-art production technologies, we realise wire rope assemblies that meet the highest quality and safety standards. Rely on BARTELS as your expert partner for customised wire rope solutions - individual, precise and a perfect fit for your applications.
