We have made maintenance-free connections in local and long-distance transport possible with spring pressure connection technology. Today, we offer additional comprehensive solutions.

WAGO in railway systems

SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR TASKS

Whether railway vehicles, signalling technology or railway stations - WAGO products can be used almost anywhere where electricity flows, signals are transmitted and converted in the railway sector. It is not without reason that operators, manufacturers and suppliers of railway and signalling technology rely on WAGO. We have been doing pioneering work in electrical connection technology since 1977: away from the screw and towards spring connection technology - setting standards in railway technology.

Infrastructure in Railway Stations

Railway stations as railway facilities and reception buildings consist of various equipment and systems that are powered by electricity and whose functionality must be monitored. This includes lighting controllers, evacuation systems and low-voltage switchgear that ensure passengers’ comfort and safety. In railway stations too, WAGO provides failsafe power supplies and data recording for various analog and digital signals.

WAGO Technology in Railway Vehicles

For more than 40 years, WAGO has been a railway staple. The superior operator-independent quality of WAGO’s electrical interconnection technology, which features quick and easy handling, is only one of the reasons that this vibration-proof spring pressure connection technology has become and industry standard. You can find our technology aboard electric and diesel locomotives, in passenger railroad cars and double-decker vehicles and in traction vehicles for regional, local and high-speed trains, trolleys and subways.

Applications in Trains

WAGO’s enormous product range of electrical interconnection, interface and automation technologies allows us to provide an appropriate, reliable solution that can be installed quickly and easily for any application – from space-limited applications in cabs, doors, lighting and air-conditioning technology, to drives and converters, switch and fuse panels, battery chargers, toilets and junction boxes that require durability.

Point Operating Systems

Functioning point operating systems – whether operated electrically or hydraulically – are fundamental to preventing train failures. Therefore, operators rely on predictive maintenance – detecting possible defects before they arise. The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM collects the data measured by sensors on the points and provides it to the control center. This allows the smallest deviations to be evaluated directly and repairs to be performed.

Signal Technology at Railroad Crossings

Reliable, maintenance-free electrical connections are essential in signal technology at railroad crossings, as well as in railway stations or on points. Many facets of WAGO connection technology come into play, especially for cable boxes, point operating systems, block systems and signal boxes. WAGO’s electrical interconnection technology has been used in railway applications since the 1970s, has corresponding approvals and has been proven in practice.
