A well-kept secret F
or years, Bosch Rexroth has been supplying a multitude of components and subsystems
for use in rail technology. Branded the drive and control company, Bosch manufactures across a range of basic technologies – electric, hydraulic and pneumatic – and therefore will put forward the best solution irrespective of the base technology.
This provides clients with a truly objective perspective to enable them to consider and select the best solution for their needs. Bosch Rexroth has a huge product program integrated
variable height, ergonomical design for access points and integrated point of use for electrics, air and pneumatics close to the operation. These factory automation products could be used to improve the manufacturing process of locomotive and rolling stock.

There are many functions that can improve the performance of the locomotive and train and Bosch Rexroth has long experience and the vast product range, including the newly-introduced fi ltration product line, to provide expert advice and assistance in developing new ideas to improve design and overall performance. For example, Bosch Rexroth has fan drives including the controls to improve the effi ciency by controlling fan speed in relation to the actual need of engines and exhaust systems, either electrically driven or hydrostatically driven using roof modules, or custom made.
Once the technology is chosen, a cooling study can be systematically validated using an internally developed model: wind tunnel testing, simulation of structures etc.
in a wide application fi eld including hydrostatic auxiliary drives, electric or hydraulic driven cooling systems for trains and locomotives, hydrostatic traction drives for special vehicles and ball screw drives for rail switches, to mention only a few.
Bosch Rexroth also offers factory automation products to provide a versatile and very effective base to manufacture small to very large products. For example the Airbus A350 XWB wings of 33m in length are manufactured using Bosch Rexroth platforms that provide
The demands are to use the minimum amount of space, either on, in or under the vehicle, to produce a design that weighs as little as possible, is as quiet as legislation stipulates and, of course, one that is reasonably priced.
In this connection, and with the aid of
simulation of the heat transmission and fl ow, the ‘Fluid Mechanics’ Centre of Competence is in a position to examine and optimise in advance the various designs ‘virtually’, taking into consideration the cost-benefi t aspects. It is precisely the introduction of high-performance
The railway market demands special requirements from its suppliers. Standards that cover hard environmental conditions or electromagnetic conformity need to be fulfi lled as well as train lifetime product and engineering support, says Bosch Rexroth rail industry specialist Alan Read.
computing technology and the enormous calculation resources available with Bosch Rexroth that forms the basis and advantages for evaluating the design at the earliest possible stage.
Linear actuation for wipers, door couplings, ventilation ducts and doors can be supplied in all technologies, including hydraulic, pneumatic and electric, to suit the best design requirement and effi cient operation considerations.
Bosch Rexroth also has access to the vast range of tried-and-tested components, sensors, security equipment and instruments within the Bosch Group – for example, driving aids such as systems to aid night vision providing a broad fi eld of view using infrared lighting. These give an extremely clear image (irrespective of light conditions) to improve safety by giving excellent visibility of objects and persons in the dark or in shadows.
Bosch is also involved in braking systems with controls. The low cost brake slipper discs have good thermal properties thanks to the lamellar phosphorous cast.
It is self-lubricating,
providing consistency of braking performance; indeed, brakes were one of the fi rst products Bosch Rexroth supplied into the rail market, as early as 1853.
In short, contact Bosch Rexroth to assist you in selecting the best products and systems to improve the safety, effi ciency and performance of your rail technology.

How the ‘Internet of Things’ will change the
way we monitor the railways Tim Taberner of Eurotech Ltd explains more about his new white paper.
T
he revolution underway in M2M (machine to machine) communications will have
profound implications for all sectors, including the rail industry. Sensors, devices, systems and
enterprise applications must work collaboratively, interacting with each other, and with the supply chain, regulators and customers in ways that produce lower CAPEX and OPEX project costs, improved customer experience, and more effi cient running of the network.
Eurotech, whilst a relatively new entrant to the 94 | rail technology magazine Apr/May 13
UK rail market, can demonstrate a long history of supply to the rail sector in other regions, offering a range of products and services addressing both on board and trackside deployments in a variety of applications.
Uniquely, Eurotech is able to combine its rail qualifi ed hardware with fi eld-proven M2M enabling technologies, evolved from mission-critical deployments over many years. This combination makes it an ideal partner for organisations wishing to exploit the opportunities emerging as devices and the
enterprise become more connected.
