Rely on proven quality! Safe, precise brake controls require systems that are 100% relia- ble and ensure continious low-maintenance operation. AVENTICS provides the right pneumatic solutions – especially the ED05

Always at the right level, a precise floor lever to platform height enabled short dwell time Pneumatics provide solid arguments for controls and drives in and train suspension systems: they are reliable, safe, durable and cost-effective. The key is for the individual techni- cal durable systems within the to fit together perfectly. Example – the ready-to-install control manifolds controlling the pneumatic service brake as well as actuating the and the spring-applied . The electronic con- trol air suspension for the vehicle platform height, which not only guarantees an optimal boarding process, but also offers energy savings of up to 50 percent of the air consumption.

WW Customized products and system solutions WW Pre-tested components ready for bolt-on delivery WW Products and solutions tested to customer and rail standards WW Compliance with safety standards

YY Electronic leveling for trains: The ELV electronic leveling valve consists of a proportional valve, two switching , and control electro- nics with sensors. The bus control makes handling easy and enables condition monitoring. Control electronics optimize the control and switching behavior of the integrated valves whilest minimizing air consumption.

UU Pneumatic control of air springs: The entire assembly of the ELV corresponds to protection class IP 66 and is designed for an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +70 °C. Highlights are the software functions and the interaction of the train control as the master with the air suspension control as the slave. Expertise | Railway Industry 5
