- Rolling friction instead of sliding friction
- Slight lifting of the switch during the setting process
- With the MULTIFLEX the setting movement of the switches is smooth and without power peaks
- No lubrication of the slide-chair plates
- Rollers with maintenance-free bearing
- Easy to retrofit into turnouts
- Easy and quick to adjust
- Little installation time required
- Easy to dismantle and re-mount if a half switch device is exchanged
- Dismantling of plates or sleepers not required
- Active pushing ot the switches against the stock rail
- Low weight
- Low height
- Supplied as one unit, mounting without having to handle individual elements
- Different arrangement of the roller system possible with the same parts, therefore easy to stock and in specific cases, possible to use for reverse function
