Heating elements for switch points and railway infrastructure
Railway shielded heating elements, also known as switch heating resistors, switch point heaters, or linear heating elements, are part of our product range. We also develop special solutions for frost protection of movable switch point frogs.
Both in France and internationally, our rail heaters (for trams, high-speed lines, etc.) are manufactured in various cross-sections, alloys, and connection types to meet your specific requirements.
Additionally, we have developed a range with quick-connect fittings, allowing you to replace the heating element while retaining the cable, housing, and IP68 sealing.
The shielding of our switch heating resistors can be made from stainless steel (INOX) or MONEL to address your durability and corrosion resistance needs.
Please contact us for any specific requirements.
Our shielded heating elements for railway applications are stocked in a standard cross-section of 5.5 x 13 mm, available in various power ratings and lengths. We also offer custom manufacturing for elements with non-standard sizes and power specifications.
We are innovating with our shielded switch heating resistors made from MONEL. Our MONEL heating rods provide excellent corrosion resistance.
Here are some key features of our shielded heating elements for railway use:
-High-quality materials designed for harsh operating conditions. The resistor shielding is made from stainless steel (INOX) or MONEL to withstand corrosion.
-Our switch heating resistors operate reliably within a temperature range from -50°C to +140°C.
-Connection housings can be fully sealed to IP68 standards. The cable is securely molded (fully or partially) and replaceable.
-Even heat distribution thanks to a high density of heating elements.
-Special mounting accessories (clamps, tightening brackets, clips, connector head fastenings, etc.) ensure optimal performance during rail and heating element expansion.
Shielded heating elements for railway applications are primarily designed for frost protection of switch infrastructure.
Shielded heating elements for railway applications are naturally intended for the railway industry. However, these resistors can be custom-shaped and have proven their effectiveness in other sectors as well.
