HBS-HB
Crossing with moveable point, type “HBS-HB“ with point and splice rails
These crossings have flexibly moving point and splice rails. Longitudinal compensation during setting is achieved through a special bolting between the point and splice rails which permits relative displacement. As a result, there is no need for an expansion joint in the closure rail. The use of standard rail sections means that a wide selection of material is possible.
Designs are available with or without a continuous base plate.
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
