A bit buried towards the end of this video, but a key point for rail engineers to note:- Harder rails keep their profile longer. That can be good or bad depending on whether the match between wheel and rail a good one. #rail101 #WRI #railway #rail

Safety is the first priority for all of us, in all situations.   There is still room for improvement in terms of train safety, as there are weaknesses in the existing crash safety requirements for rail vehicles EN 15227:2020 today; only requires dealing with train collision at ONE SPECIFIC speed of 36 km/h.   No train collides at ONE SPECIFIC speed and derailment of coaches is always the consequence of the collisions at different speeds.   The new award-winning collision system handles collisions at speeds UP TO 36 km/h and beyond. The system makes train journeys safer for passengers and more economical for operators. Inspired by both the automotive and defense industries and based on the laws of nature.   Let's continue the journey of improvement and the progress made in the safety culture of the rail industry. This system is easy to upgrade non-crashworthy and limited crashworthy trains and of course easy to implement on new trains.   #AWARDS;  Stiftelsen SKAPA Foundation in memory of Alfred Nobel and the Swedish Steel Prize by SSAB. #railwaysafety #StayOnTrack #Sustainable #Availability #Reshoring #SSAB  #STRENX #BILFINGER #Cooperation #Partnership #GreenBuffers #DalarnaSciencePark  

Locomotive is a magnificent machine which has many moving parts and carry people from one place to another. In addition to that if the locomotive is an electric one, then the challenges increases further. Safety of people travelling inside the locomotive and of people living in the residential areas via which an electric locomotive passes through is of paramount importance.

How do train turns on curved track..? Train wheels are slightly conical in shape which helps to turn the wheel along the curved rail track . The running surface of most train wheels is conical, which serves as the primary means of keeping the train aligned with the track while in motion. The wheels are fixed on an axle, and when rounding a curve the mass of the train pushes the wheelset towards the outside of the track. The outside wheel rides up to contact the rail at a larger diameter, while the inside wheel drops down to contact its rail at a smaller diameter. The difference between the distances travelled by each wheel for each rotation of the axle causes the wheelset to follow the curve of the track. Pls watch this video to understand the concept. #railwaytrack #train #trainwheels #railwaysystem

🚴♂️🔗** The Process industry is full of weak links. Eliminate yours today! We witnessed history with Mark Cavendish secure his historic 35th victory in the Tour de France. It could have gone totally wrong, because just at the finish line, at such a critical moment his chain fell off his bike. Just like a cyclist’s performance hinges on the reliability of their bike chain, the process industry depends on the strength and integrity of its components. We all know that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. But what if you could eliminate multiple weak links and merge them into a single, robust link, guaranteeing Mark Cavendish and any other rider not to have problems with their chain. In the process industry this will ensure process continuity and shorter downtime. By integrating multiple essential components into a single, powerful device, you can minimise potential points of failure and enhance the overall reliability and efficiency of your system. Here’s why this integrated approach is a game-changer: **Reduced Complexity:** Simplifies system architecture by combining multiple devices into one. **Increased Reliability:** Fewer components mean fewer potential failure points. **Enhanced Performance:** Seamless integration leads to more accurate and reliable data. **Cost Efficiency:** Lower installation and maintenance costs. Experience the strength of an unbreakable chain by adopting this integrated approach. Just as a cyclist conquers the toughest climbs with a strong chain, your operations can achieve new heights of efficiency and reliability with a streamlined system. "What do you think your weakest links are? And which are easy to eliminate?" #Innovation #Technology #Engineering #Reliability #Efficiency #ProcessIndustry #Integration #TourDeFrance #Cycling
