Precision and efficiency for every bolt connection
Reliable and reproducible bolt connections are essential in the railroad and rail sector. ITH offers high-performance bolting systems for vehicle construction, infrastructure and maintenance that guarantee maximum precision, process reliability and cost-effectiveness. Discover an excerpt of our applications for safety-critical bolt connections in the railroad and rail sector here.
Clutches
Couplings connect individual wagons and locomotives to each other. The bolt connections have to withstand enormous tensile and compressive forces and are safety-critical. ITH bolting tools allow these connections to be tightened in a precise and documented manner to ensure safe operation.
Tracks
Precise bolting of rails to sleepers is essential for the assembling and maintenance of tracks. Our bolting machines enable fast, powerful and precise tightening and loosening of all common track bolts – even in confined space conditions and on different track gauges
Buffer
Buffers are central safety elements on rail vehicles that absorb shocks and compressive forces. Fastening these components requires the highest precision as they are exposed to considerable dynamic loads. ITH tools ensure reliable assembling and maintenance of the buffer connections
