Wheel Springs

Wheel Springs – Rubber Blocks

Rubber blocks are fitted between wheel tyre and wheel rim. They allow a higher flexibility of the wheel and a better comfort for the passengers. Noise will be reduced. Due to the ability of axial deflection the wheel tyre can better follow the track curve, which results in lower wear.

• Reduction of vibration
• Minimisation of wheel- and railwear
• Lower maintenance costs, in case of wear only tire has to be changed
• Used in metros and trams
