Fasteners for Trains and Railway Technology: Enhancing Reliability and Efficiency

 

Bossard's Fastening Solutions for Trains and Railway Technology

The railway sector's increasing demand for reliability, speed, and punctuality is driving advancements in train and railway technology. With the push for faster and more economical trains, lightweight materials are becoming the norm. Alongside this, production throughput times and lean maintenance practices must be optimized, creating unique challenges for fasteners.

At Bossard, we recognize these industry trends and provide railway-specific fastening solutions that adhere to the highest safety and quality standards. Our solutions are tailored to enhance efficiency and productivity, ensuring seamless operations in rail technology.

Rail-Specific Fasteners by Application:

Supply Units in Rail Vehicles

Passenger comfort and easy maintenance are priorities in supply units. Fasteners must be quickly replaceable, reusable, and suitable for safe mounting.

Key Fasteners: Cable glands, compression latches, hose clamps, blind rivet nuts, and high-strength threaded inserts.

Railcar Body

Safety and structural stability are paramount. Fasteners must be corrosion-resistant, reliable, and easy to assemble and disassemble.

Key Fasteners: Lock bolts, slotted self-locking nuts, grounding studs, tensioner nuts, and blind rivet nuts.

Bogie in Rail Vehicles

The bogie, a critical train component, requires fasteners that ensure vibration-proof, corrosion-resistant connections, and withstand extreme temperatures.

Key Fasteners: Lock washers, wedge locking washers, hex head locking screws, and tension control bolts.

Interior of Railcar Vehicles

Fasteners for interiors must balance functionality with aesthetics, supporting daily stresses while meeting lightweight construction needs.

Key Fasteners: Hinges, threaded inserts, cable tie plates, pan head screws, and high-strength blind rivets.

Energy Supply Systems

In energy systems, fire protection and connection security are critical. Fasteners must offer corrosion and vibration resistance.

Key Fasteners: Barb cable ties, resilient conical washers, coatings, and wrap sleeving.

Hardness Testing Techniques for Fasteners

Image
Hardness defines how a material resists permanent deformations such as indentation. Because measuring this characteristic is a mature technology, several hardness methods are available that produce different hardness values. Parts like fasteners are typically tested at heat treatment to affect the process and the outcome. However, these tests are also conducted on raw materials for high-strength fasteners or some coating finishes. Advantages of Hardness Testing Such tests are quick and easy, relatively inexpensive, and can work on finished components since they do not destroy the specimen, which can be of any size and shape, such as a fastener. In general, mechanical hardness tests rely on an indenter made of tough material, such as hardened steel, carbide, or diamond. It presses into the surface of the test component at a specific force. The hardness values come from either how deeply the indenter penetrates or the size of the indent with smaller indents signifying harder ma...
