Measuring Forces, Tracking Movement – Right Inside the Spring
At the 49th Rail Vehicle Conference in Graz, our CEO Christian Madritsch presented a newly developed, integrated measuring system for rail vehicles that enables precise force and displacementmeasurements in the primary spring.
A Technological Edge for the Railway Industry
The smart primary spring has been successfully tested in real-world operations and delivers high-quality data for a wide range of applications in chassis engineering and condition monitoring of rail vehicles:
Optimization of suspension and chassis design
Analysis of real track load impacts
Validation of numerical spring models
Real-time condition diagnosis
Foundation for predictive maintenance in the railway sector
Test Ride and Data Insights
The linked video offers exclusive insights into the test ride with the prototypes, as well as evaluated measurement data.
A practical showcase of this innovative railway technology in action.
Looking Ahead: Smart Spring 3.0
The upcoming third generation of our smart primary spring will evolve into a fully autonomous measurement system with the help of our measuring software ACQUA.
Featuring remote maintenance, real-time data analysis and automated reporting, it will regularly provide relevant operational data—delivered directly to your system platform or maintenance team as needed.
