Traffic engineering

Highest availability despite extreme and harsh environmental conditions

Do you produce high-quality special machines or vehicles that have to withstand harsh climates, adapt to demanding conditions and meet special requirements?

We support you with drive solutions that guarantee maximum availability thanks to their individual design and durability.

Traffic engineering places very high demands, which are reflected in the legal requirements and the special operating conditions.

Operational safety, freedom from maintenance and high availability in harsh environments are prerequisites in transportation technology.

At the same time, high demands are placed on vibration and oscillation stability and acceleration values of up to 10 g or 15 g are not uncommon.

The drives must be highly overload-resistant, withstand large temperature differences, defy harsh climatic and environmental influences and have the optimum cooling concept for the respective application. As these requirements vary greatly depending on the type of vehicle and location, only adapted, robust special drives are used here. Often with a directly mounted axle drive, which CEDS DURARIVE also designs.

In the field of transportation technology, legal requirements such as operational safety or reliability of safety-relevant components such as brakes apply.

Specifications regarding installation space, due to vehicle dimensions and available space, are taken into account during the design phase.

Installation space requirements due to vehicle dimensions / space available Railway technology

Solution: Customized gearbox housing adapted to the customer's installation space.

Use in explosion-proof areas

Solution: different ATEX approval - (EX) II 2 D Ex tb IIIC T4 Db; (EX) II 2 G Ex de IIC T4 Gb

Large temperature differences due to a driving speed of 100 km/h

Solution: Optimized cooling concept of the drive to reduce the core temperature.

Robust construction

CEDS DURADRIVE manufactures durable drives that are exposed to the most extreme climatic influences, soiling and heavy mechanical loads.

Optimum cooling

Optimum cooling of the drive unit further reduces power loss and prevents thermal stresses in the housing. An increase in availability and service life is therefore guaranteed. Various types of cooling can be implemented, e.g. through self-ventilation, forced ventilation, self-cooling, through-flow ventilation or liquid cooling. In the case of existing cooling circuits, a liquid-cooled motor can often be designed and connected to the existing system.

Individual design

When it comes to retrofitting and modernization, the special adaptation of the motor and gearbox to the existing design is a major challenge. CEDS DURADRIVE solves this with creative design and competent engineering.
