The modern turnout locking device from BWG ensures not only safe locking between tongue and stock rail of a turnout, but also the holding down of the locked tongue.

The HRS locking mechanism with its changeover principle lift - roll - lower - secure is suited for every common rail profile in the switch section as well as in the area of the swing nose crossing.

Design and Function

The unlocking, moving and locking functions of the locking device are controlled by a special link block of the clamp in the locking rod. The design of the clamp permits the tongue to be braced with the stock rail, both in horizontal and vertical directions. This also guarantees that the switchblade and the stock rail have the same height even in case of elastic subsidence of the stock rail. The tongue attachment BKL 80 (please also refer to our product information BKL 61) is designed such that a correct setting movement is ensured even if the switchblade moves +/- 40 mm relative to the stock rail. All setting movements are carried out via low-maintenance rollers; there are no sliding components which require high maintenance.

Use of the HRS Locking Device

The HRS locking device can be used for all common rail profiles both in switch devices and movable crossings.
The BWG product is state-of-the-art in high-speed lines, but it is also commonly used and proven for all other fields of application. Because of its modular design, it can be easily retrofitted.
