The benefits of our ultralight hybrid rubber element shock absorber wheels are impressive. Here are some numbers, based on a 6-axle tram car: 600 kg less weight per vehicle; 100 kg lower axle load; reduced stress on the track and vehicle; 195,000 kWh of energy savings over the vehicle\u2019s life span with a total mileage of 3 million km; 98,000 kg less CO2 equivalent emissions. This means increasing the transport capacity by eight people or 600 kg of weight reserved for additional technical equipment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/6″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-lg-2 vc_col-md-3 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][fancy_box box_style=”color_box_basic” icon_family=”none” box_color=”#3c6a81″ box_color_opacity=”1″ box_alignment=”left” min_height=”50″]\n

Of course \u2013 due to the different material conditions \u2013 specific structural adjustments were made.<\/p>\n With this type of wheel, a wheel rim ring \u2013 frictionally connected with the rim by means of a press-fit joint \u2013 ensures that the rubber elements are seated securely against rotation. The particular advantage of this design is the simplified assembly\/disassembly which can be carried out directly on the vehicle to reduce maintenance costs.<\/p>\n The bolts are also an additional security element in this case. They remain in operation without pull\/pressure load and are therefore almost indestructible.<\/p>\n This type of wheel can, of course, be customised and developed further.<\/p>\n Please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us with your specific requirements!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_image=”3003″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”slow” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60″][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h2″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”How should we build your wheelset? “][vc_column_text]Each track and carriage format poses different challenges to wheels and wheelsets.
