Continuous variable
With a conventional damper, the damping characteristic of a secondary horizontal railway shock absorber is always a compromise between the ability of this damper to isolate long wave vibrations, while at the same time filtering the high frequency shocks working on the passenger compartment.
In other words; a compromise between stability and comfort. To damp this complete spectrum of vibrations, ideally the damper forces should be continuously adjusted to the exact level of damping required.
With our patented Continuously Variable Damping (CVD) system, KONI has developed a revolutionary system, which exactly does that!
Damper-Spring combinations
Sometimes the available space on a bogie or wheel set is extremely limited.
Can KONI deliver an external adjustable integrated damper-spring combination
with seperate end-range damping?
Sure, just ask us!

Pentograph dampers
The relatively small sized pantograph damper has a position dependant performance characteristic.
It is customized to control the pantograph in working position in contact to the catenary, as well as while lowering the pantograph to the roof. |

Door actuator dampers
Controlling the door movements in such a way that the doors close and open with exactly the correct speed and without slamming?
It can be done, with dedicated stroke dependent dampers manufactured by KONI! |
