COMPONENTS FOR RAILWAY APPLICATIONS
Turck, s.r.o. has long been one of the leading suppliers
of automation equipment. The production program also
includes a number of products suitable for railway
applications. In particular, these are various types of sensors,
internal or external buttons, LED lights and indicator
lights, sound signalling devices, electromechanical
and semiconductor relays, time relays, and other products.
Electromechanical
durable buttons
d
Controls in the form of various electromechanical buttons are among the basic
components that no vehicle can do without. Due to the demands of weather,
temperature, vibration, and impact conditions, all these components in railway and
associated other transport applications
must feature high mechanical resistance
and electrical reliability, while providing
ease of cleaning and high visibility for
users/passengers.
For example, the TSL-ESCHA HST line of
electromechanical push buttons are intended for installation on bars or walls in vehicle interiors. This product line offers a large selection of colours, text, pictograms,
and two-colour backlighting with a durable cover. Versions with Braille and raised
pictograms meet all the requirements for
passengers with special needs. Text and
pictograms are protected by scratch-resistant and vandal-resistant polyamide.
Among the most interesting new products is the outdoor button of the TSLESCHA PK52 line with an acoustic signalling device and robust exchangeable

various situations can be indicated, including the entry or exit of a disabled person
or door failure. The rounded cover provides good visibility from all directions
in a timeless design.
The TL80 is a compact signal light for applications with limited installation space
providing a warning function for slippery
stairs or ramps. They are also suitable
as orientation lighting. Variants
with laminated safety
glass make indicator
lights more resistant
cover. With its technical features and modular concept, this type is ideal for new
trams, metro cars, railway cars, trolleybuses, and buses, or for retrofits of vehicles
and other special equipment.
LED lighting and indicators
d
Lighting components providing lighting
and coordination and safety applications
are an important part of the exterior and
interior of rail and other transport or special vehicles. Whether located in the interior of the car/compartment, corridors, door areas or toilet cubicles, or at the
boarding stairs and doors, it is
always necessary to use
a long-lasting lighting design
with
suitable
light
modes
that work reliably in
extreme temperatures or
frost, and dusty or high humidity environments.
TSL-ESCHA LED lights have optimal lateral perception and brightness, providing
passengers with comfortable boarding,
exiting, and remaining inside the vehicle,
even for people with reduced mobility or
hearing or visual impairments. For example, the new line of the PL13 indicator
linear LED lights is intended for the safe
and clear indication of the vehicle door
status. With four switchable colours,
to vandalism.
These lights can also
be used in a number of other demanding and special applications in the area of vehicle equipment.
The LS series LED strip supports the safety of passengers with distinctive door indicators that indicate the opening and closing of the door. This product can be used
to illuminate the entire closing edge or it
can be attached all around the door indicating its status. The advantages of this solution include the absolute homogeneity
of the emitted light, creating a perfect design of the door and the vehicle.
Audible indicators
d
Audible indicator devices are durable
acoustic modules designed for easy installation in a vehicle, for example, to indicate the opening and closing of doors, or
emergency messages. Protection up to
IP67 and a temperature range of –40 to
+80 °C allow for use in all climatic conditions. Versions with different sound sequences or with adjustable volume are
available. The key advantage of these indicators is their adaptable volume. The
configuration module makes it easy to
make individual settings for each application and deliveries are available from
1 piece.
