Railway Systems

Rail transport is steadily increasing worldwide. This places new demands on existing and new routes. A reliable and maintenance-free infrastructure is the basis for the trouble-free operation of electric trains in local and long-distance transport.

In long-distance transport, high speeds and high forces are the norm when freight trains start moving. This requires robust overhead lines that can handle high currents.

Modern high-speed lines with numerous tunnels and bridges require compact solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into the infrastructure.

Short distances between stops, high peak performance, and high train density are the biggest challenges in local transport. Tram lines are increasingly being designed with aesthetics in mind, which increases the complexity of the networks and limits their local expansion.

Reliable catenary systems

Mosdorfer Rail is a full-service provider of innovative and sustainable solutions for electric railways and trams. The reliability of our catenary systems and the high availability of the routes are at the heart of everything we do.

Our products are installed worldwide on subway, tram, and high-speed rail lines and are now the benchmark for railway companies.

Overhead Line Systems

Our portfolio includes a wide range of brackets, hangers, and clamps that cover all the needs of modern overhead contact line systems—from local transport networks to high-speed lines.

These components perform key functions in the mechanical structure of the catenary system. They fix, guide, and distribute the tensile forces within the suspension cable and contact wire system, thereby ensuring stable and tension-free support for the conductor cables. Optimal force transmission and alignment of the components ensure even load distribution within the system. This minimizes material fatigue and increases the service life of the system.

Insulator Technologies

Mosdorfer Rail has decades of experience in the development and manufacture of insulators for traction power systems, regardless of whether porcelain or composite insulators are required.

Insulators are a safety-critical component in all electrical infrastructure systems—including railway electrification. They ensure electrical separation between live conductors and grounded structural elements, thereby contributing significantly to operational safety and system stability. Our products are designed for extreme mechanical and climatic loads and can be adapted to specific system voltages, mechanical requirements, and environmental conditions.

Safety Equipment

Mosdorfer Rail offers a complete range of voltage testers, earthing and short-circuiting devices, as well as earthing and operating rods, which can be tailored precisely to any requirement using a modular system.rnrn

Safety technology is one of the most sensitive areas in railway electrification. Reliable products, simple operation, and operational safety are therefore very important.

Tensioning Systems

The overhead lines of railways and trams are subject to temperature fluctuations caused by both the day-night cycle and seasonal changes. The resulting expansion and contraction of the contact wire must therefore be constantly and reliably compensated for in order to ensure efficient train traffic.

TENSOREX C+ is a spring-based tensioning system for electric railway overhead lines that ensures that tensioned cables and wires remain at a constant height. The necessary tensioning force is generated by the patented interaction of a spiral spring and an eccentric disc. This eliminates the need for concrete and steel weights.
