HBS-BD, HBS B

Crossing with moveable point, types “HBS-B“ with forged point block

These crossings are equipped with a flexibly moving point block. (HBS-B)

The longitudinal compensation required during setting in case of steeper crossing angles is absorbed by an expansion joint in the area of the closure rail in the diverted track. (HBS-BD)

Advantages

  • Continuous wheel overrunning area (no running edges and head surface interruptions), therefore particularly suitable for high-speed and heavy haul traffic as well as for mixed operation (different vehicles and wheel set types)
  • No check rails required – a condition for high-speed traffic
  • Reduced airborne and structure-borne noise
  • Highest possible service life because there are no impacts in the wheel transition area
  • Can be thermite welded into the track
  • With special anti-creep equipment for transmission of longitudinal forces in the continuously welded track
