Turnouts in superstructures
Reduced loads and wear on turnouts
Due to areas of discontinuity – such as frogs within a turnout – dynamic impacts are generated as trains travel over. An additional load is placed on the entire superstructure. Products and solutions from Getzner reduce the dynamic shock loads and thereby ensure less wear on the superstructure components.
Problems in the superstructure
- Damages to rail and frog
- Rail corrugation
- Ballast deterioration
- Tilting of the turnout
- Transmission of vibration to adjacent buildings
- High dynamic loads
- Higher maintenance costs
- Lower ride comfort
The Getzner solution
Elastic elements made from Sylomer® and Sylodyn® reduce the dynamic shock loads and the vibrations that are transmitted to the surrounding area. The wear on the turnout and superstructure components is significantly reduced.
- Stiffness compensation and thus more uniform load distribution
- Reduction in dynamic forces
- Consistently high quality of track geometry
- Reduced wear of frog, rails, and attaching elements
- Smoother passage
- Longer rail service life
- Reduction in ballast contact pressure
- Tamping intervals are extended, giving significant reduction in maintenance costs
- Reduction of vibration immissions to an imperceptible level
- Reductions achieved with Getzner solutions are significantly better than legal requirements
- Protection and increase in value of adjacent properties
