As a key current collection device for electric locomotives and EMUs, the single-arm pantograph maintains continuous sliding contact with the overhead catenary wire through the carbon strip, transmitting 25kV (or other voltage levels) of high-voltage electrical energy to the train's traction system, while also accommodating dynamic displacement and vibrations during high-speed operation.
·Our objective was to design and manufacture a simple, light weight, and easy to maintain Pantograph.
·We further wanted to achieve the optimum in catenary contact behavior, even under the most basic and adverse overhead wire conditions, and combine with it a maximum of operating safety.
