Reliable compressed air for modern rail technology
CVS compressors and compressed air systems are used worldwide in trains, multiple units, and locomotives. They provide the essential compressed air needed for critical safety and comfort functions onboard rail vehicles, efficiently, durably, and with low noise levels.
Typical applications of railway compressors
- 1. Pneumatic Brake Systems – Safety on Every Journey
- 2. Air Suspension and Suspension Control – Smooth Ride Comfort
- 3. Pneumatic Door Systems – Precise and Synchronized
- 4. Signal Horns and Whistles – Acoustic Safety
- 5. Flange Lubrication – Minimize Friction, Boost Efficiency
Compressed air is the heart of modern train braking systems. Our railway compressors ensure a reliable air supply for pneumatic brakes, enabling precise braking and maximum safety even at high speeds or emergency situations.
Reliable compressed air supply for train brakes
Maximum safety through fail-safe technology
Modern rail vehicles use air suspension systems to stabilize and improve ride comfort. Our compressors deliver the required compressed air to dynamically adjust the suspension based on load and track conditions.
Improved ride smoothness and reduced vibrations
Automatic height leveling for enhanced comfort and safety
Train doors often operate pneumatically. CVS compressors guarantee smooth, synchronized, and reliable door operation, even under heavy use and extreme weather conditions.
High operational reliability in daily use
Optimal performance in cold and hot climates
Signal horns and whistles in rail technology are often powered by compressed air. Our systems ensure a loud, clear warning sound at all times, indispensable for railway safety.
Clear warning signals at level crossings and track areas
Reliable operation in all weather conditions
Compressed air is also used for automatic flange lubrication, applying lubricant precisely to wheel flanges, especially on curves or tight track radii.
Reduced wear on wheels and rails
Lower noise levels in curves
Improved energy efficiency during operation
