Arnitel® enables energy dampening on railway rolling stock and locomotives

Arnitel® copolyester elastomer based springs extend life time performance on rolling stock buffers and draft gears and provide the most efficient energy absorption systems for a given weight or volume .

Arnitel based springs are used in traditional European side buffers and draw gears as well in draft gear systems. Arnitel contributes to the safe and comfortable transport of passengers and goods. Arnitel has exceptionally good dynamic fatique and creep resistance properties which enables systems that are more reliable and more durable than traditional spring systems based on metal, rubber and/or hydraulics. Springs using Arnitel are maintenance free during the lifetime of a buffer (20 years or more)
