RIGIDITY COMPENSATOR FOR RIGID CATENARY SYSTEMS (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

摘要

Stiffness compensator for rigid catenary systems in existing or newly installed installations, consisting of a mechanical interface of the slide type (9) whose ends are installed, on the one hand, tied by a beam (V) of rigid catenary that may already be installed and, on the other hand, tying the copper contact wire (C) on which the pantographs of the trains slide, exerting a sufficient contact force that guarantees the correct transmission of electrical current, physically separating the beam elements (V) and cable (C). Around the slide can be installed different elastic elements (2) and/or elastomers (3), which vary the value of the punctual stiffness in each installation place, allowing the stabilization of the value of the applied force of the pantograph on the cable (C) and obtaining a homogeneous wear profile both in the wipers of the pantographs and in the contact wire.
