Special attention is paid to devices and technical means responsible for the safety of operation of railway transport. High speeds and high carrying capacity of rolling stock require implementation:
- Reliable and efficient braking and emergency stopping systems.
- Brake equipment and components with a strictly defined service life.
At the same time, the criteria for the safety margin and strength should be significantly higher when it comes to transport for passenger traffic or used in the metro. Specialists of the research, testing and engineering departments of the Transmash company for the rolling stock of precisely the so-called underground transport:
- Systematic research work is underway.
- New designs of braking systems for cars and locomotives, as well as other spare parts for rolling stock, are being created, for more details see https://td-rus.com/podvizhnogo-sostava-vagonov-metropolitena/.
Technologies for servicing and diagnosing the operation of all braking equipment already installed on the rolling stock are being tested. At the same time, close attention is paid to the direct quality of components and spare parts already produced at the enterprise in a serial format.
Informational Help
The Transmash company (Tikhvin, Moscow region) was founded in 1994 and its main production activity was the production of spare parts, as well as components for the rolling stock of railway transport, including those operating in the metro. Taking into account the great needs for spare parts from the Moscow and St. Petersburg subways, the company received all the design and technical documentation necessary for their manufacture. An appropriate long-term supply contract was signed with Transmash. Today the company:
- Produces an almost complete range of spare parts and components for subway cars.
- Initiates certification, and independently controls the quality of products.
- Introduces and develops new, more efficient systems that increase the safety of rolling stock.
Given that the main customer of Transmash's products is the rapidly developing Moscow metro, the manufacturer actively cooperates with other representatives of this comfortable way of transporting passengers:
- St. Petersburg and Minsk metro.
- Metro of Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg.
