Railways Protection and isolation of on-board systems,
equipment and infrastructure

The damping solutions produced by Socitec meet many needs in the railway sector. From protecting onboard equipment subjected to continuous high vibration stresses to reducing railway noise for local residents, we constantly innovate by leveraging our decades of engineering expertise to create dampers that are tailored to the specific standards and challenges of this sector.

Embedded electronic systems or braking systems located under the train bogies are subjected to significant vibrations during operation. This prolonged vibratory phenomenon generates fatigue in these components and can even cause premature mechanical wear.
Our cable dampers, which have an unlimited lifespan, are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and humidity levels, providing protection for these systems to ensure their normal long-term operation and preserve their durability.

Socitec offers a range of solutions to reduce noise emitted by railway tracks, wheels, and even bridges. For instance, we equip metal bridges in urban areas with dynamic vibration absorbers to attenuate low-frequency sound emissions. In this way, we contribute not only to railway traffic safety but also to reducing the noise generated by it.

Train passages generate aerodynamic disturbances that affect electronic equipment positioned near the tracks, subjecting them to successive shocks and potentially weakening them. To protect these devices, we equip them with shock and vibration absorption systems that ensure their continued operation and longevity.
