Rail Industry Component:
Plasser American Corporation: Dynamic Track Stabilizer - PTS90C

Plasser American Corporation


The Plasser Dynamic Track Stabilizer PTS90C is designed to apply specific and controlled stabilizing forces into the track structure at continuous speeds. Its purpose is to provide a controlled and accurate settling of the track after maintenance work. Dynamic track stabilization is a combination of horizontal vibration and vertical load applied to the track. Dynamic track stabilization consolidates the ballast together in a dense and uniform manner, reducing specific compression stress. As a result, subsequent settlements are only marginal and a more geometrically exact track structure is produced, with considerably higher vertical and horizontal stability, the company says.
