Specific solutions for railway applications

On-time and safe journeys

In the railway industry, transport efficiency and passenger safety are of paramount importance. Every part of a train car (whether it’s for railways, subways, or trams) must be designed to deliver the highest level of reliability while considering various impacting factors such as harsh environments, corrosive agents, ongoing vibrations, and everyday wear and tear.

Rollon’s offerings are designed to meet the stringent requirements of car manufacturers. We develop robust components that comply with performance and maintenance specifications, ensuring long life, low maintenance, low operating costs, and high reliability.

Telescopic guides and linear rails play crucial roles in many parts of a train in the railway industry. Like in other markets, Rollon distinguishes itself by developing specialized, custom solutions that provide flexibility to meet all design requirements.

Railway Automation Systems

The railway industry never stops searching for ways to boost efficiency, safety, and cost-savings – and Rollon’s linear motion solutions are playing a major role in enabling the cutting-edge railway automation applications that are streamlining operations and enhancing the overall rail experience.

Our telescopic rails and linear guides are essential components in the automated door systems found on modern train cars – these robust components ensure the smooth, reliable opening and closing of doors that passengers depend on, even after endless years of nonstop use and exposure to brutal environmental conditions.

The self-aligning and self-cleaning features in our rail systems minimize maintenance needs – slashing downtime and reining in operational costs.

From raising and lowering those step boards to deploying ramps for accessibility, our products deliver the accurate, repeatable motion required for flawless operation and automated railway maintenance that makes the job safer and easier for everyone.

Rail track Inspection Systems

The safety and integrity of rail infrastructure is a top concern for railway operators around the world – and Rollon’s linear motion components are indispensable for the design and functionality of the advanced rail track inspection systems being used to ensure timely detection of potential hazards and enable proactive maintenance that keeps everything running smoothly.

Our curved rail guides are perfectly suited for those inspection vehicles navigating the serpentine paths of railway tracks – engineered for maximum durability and precision, these guides enable smooth, controlled movement inspectors need, even while carrying heavy inspection equipment over long distances.

Custom Railway Equipment

Unique challenges are constantly popping up that demand tailored solutions – and Rollon’s expertise in custom linear motion design sets us apart as the partner manufacturers choose when seeking out that specialized equipment for railway applications.

Our engineers work hand-in-hand with customers to deeply understand their specific needs – whether that’s developing ultra-robust components for brutal environments or designing compact, lightweight systems for space-constrained applications. We leverage our extensive product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities to create custom linear guides, actuators, and positioning systems that meet even the most stringent performance and regulatory standards.

From customized railcar interior fixtures all the way to specialized maintenance equipment, Rollon’s bespoke solutions are empowering railway companies to optimize operations on all fronts, enhance passenger experiences, and keep pulling ahead of the competition in an increasingly fierce market.
