HEMSCHEIDT Rail suspension systems for rail vehicles — from light rail and metros to regional and high-speed trains — are a key factor for passenger comfort, smooth running, and safety. Whether in conventional bogies or in complex chassis configurations, our systems provide precise, reliable, and adaptive suspension under all operating conditions.
Through the use of intelligent sensor technology as well as hydraulic, hydropneumatic and semi-active or active control systems, these suspension systems adapt continuously to the critical factors of load, speed and track profile.
This results in:
- Significant reductions in vibrations
- Improved ride smoothness
- Increased safety through systematic damping of oscillations
- Optimized right height control
Together this makes the suspension system a key element in the bogie for modern rail vehicles.

Development and manufacturing from a single source
HEMSCHEIDT Rail develops and produces its rail suspension systems entirely in-house – from design and calculation to simulation to final manufacturing.
The systems are plug-and-play solutions: They can be integrated in existing vehicle architectures without costly or difficult modifications.
Depending on requirements, classic coil spring suspensions or hydropneumatic variants are available.
