Acoustics and vibration
for Freight trains
Every Rail Journey Subjects Your Freight Cars to Intense Vibrations
Freight wagons and locomotives generate vibrations that increase with both payload and operating speed. These forces continuously stress the primary and secondary suspension systems, as well as onboard electrical cabinets, gradually loosening fasteners and mounting points over time.
Poorly designed vibration isolation can also accelerate equipment wear and compromise the structural integrity of the wagon itself, leading to higher maintenance requirements and reduced asset longevity.

Our Anti-Vibration Solutions
Primary and Secondary Suspension Components
We design a comprehensive range of suspension components for freight wagons, locomotives, and other rail vehicles.
Our expertise covers both primary suspension, located closest to the wheelset, and secondary suspension, which isolates the vehicle body from the bogie. Together, these systems protect rolling stock from track-induced vibration while preserving the structural integrity of the wagon and improving equipment durability.
Mounts for Electrical Cabinets and Signaling Equipment
Our anti-vibration mounts isolate onboard electrical cabinets from vibrations transmitted through the track.
We also manufacture mounts for trackside signaling cabinets, which are exposed to similar vibration loads from passing trains. This comprehensive product range protects the entire rail ecosystem, from rolling stock to fixed infrastructure.
Active Vibration Control
We develop active vibration control solutions that integrate shock and vibration absorption directly into the structure of the equipment itself.
This approach prioritizes robustness, reliability, and lifecycle cost optimization alongside technical performance. We apply these technologies to custom-engineered smart structures designed to meet the specific requirements of each customer and application.
