Special dampers (HED) from HEMSCHEIDT Rail are precisely engineered components for rail vehicle construction to handle demanding rail operating conditions. Special dampers areused to deal with challenging conditions such as extreme temperatures, high continuous loads, severe vibrations or demanding track profiles with tight curves or frequent elevation changes.
As a system supplier with decades of experience, we offer tailored damper solutions precisely matched to the specific requirements of our customers – whether for roll, longitudinal or vertical damping. Damping requirements can involve vehicle weight, suspension geometry, areas of operation (e.g. urban transport, high-speed lines, mountainous regions) as well as individual requirements for passenger comfort or safety standards.
Our special dampers cover the full spectrum of modern suspension damping – from passive, to semi-active, to fully active systems. All components are designed and manufactured entirely in-house and are deployed in a wide variety of applications such as intercar connections (gangways), bogies, or for complex motion control requirements.
