Elastic Cushion

Product Description:

Elastic Cushions are the primary components responsible for absorbing shocks and vibrations, typically made from materials that are capable of withstanding repeated compression and deformation while returning to their original shape. They are commonly used in:

• Train wheel suspension: Placed between the wheel and axle to absorb vertical and lateral forces.

• Track tie pads: Positioned between the rail and the wooden or concrete tie (sleeper), these pads reduce vibrations and noise.

Material:

• Rubber: Natural or synthetic rubber with high durability and resilience.

• Polyurethane: Offers higher load-bearing capacity and is often used in heavy-duty applications.

• Elastomeric Composites: Mixtures of rubber and other materials for enhanced performance, especially in high-speed trains.

Function:

• Absorb shock from rail-wheel interaction.

• Minimize noise and vibrations transmitted to passengers.

• Provide uniform distribution of load across the track.
