Features

  • [For high-speed railways] 
    Pantographs adopt covers on the underframe and the upper and lower frame joints and a collector head having stable lifting feature so that pantograph bounce ratio and acoustic noise is significantly reduced.
  • [For urban railways]
    The single-arm type has fewer components than the diamond-shaped type, and boasts excellent maintainability, compact size, and light weight.
  • Pantographs for various APM systems are also available.
  • We also offer pneumatically-raised pantographs conforming with overseas specifications.
