Railway Vehicle Pantographs and Coupler Buffer Systems Production

Railway Vehicle Pantographs and Coupler Buffer Systems Production Project

of Changchun City

 

1.Introduction to the Project

1.1 Project Background

1.1.1 Product Introduction

The railway vehicle pantograph and coupler buffer system are the important matching equipment for the normal operation and the main parts of the power transmission and traction connection for running of the train. There are the multiple varieties of manufacturing technologies and materials, which can meet the different demands of various types of railway vehicle equipment after some deep machining and adjustment such as mill finishing, coating, water resistance, dirt resistance, static resistance and wear resistance, etc.

1.1.2 Market Prospects

In some countries with the developed railway vehicle industry such as the US, Germany and Japan, etc., their research on the pantographs and coupler buffer systems for railway vehicles have become very deep and the industrialized production technology has also been very advanced. However, the research on and production of the materials for railway vehicles were started very late in China and it has still been in the primary phase. At present, the domestic materials for railway vehicles cannot meet the demand for rapid development of railway vehicles, the demand in the market is big, and especially the materials for high-speed trains with some special performances such as flame resistance, heat insulation, water resistance, dirt resistance, sound absorption, humid absorption and static resistance, etc. should be imported from foreign countries. In the future, with the rapid development of the railway vehicle industry of our country, the market demand for the railway vehicle pantographs and coupler buffer systems will grow more rapidly; therefore, the market prospects of the project are very good.

1.1.3 Technical Analysis

In recent years, great progress has been made in the production flow, production efficiency and technical updating speed of the railway vehicle pantographs and coupler buffer systems. The introduction, absorption and re-innovation of the advanced equipment have fully improved the technical level of the industry as a whole; the inputs of some backbone enterprises in the research and development have been increased year by year and the innovative capacity of the industry has been gradually strengthened; the adoption of the trans-field engineering integrated innovative technology and equipment has become the common understanding of the manufacturers of railway vehicle pantographs and coupler buffer systems.

With the application of the high-end functional rigid composite materials for railway vehicles in the pantographs and coupler buffer systems, the materials will be further applied in some fields such as aviation and ships, so the market scale is extremely big.
