Self Supporting Pantograph Carbon Strips

Morgan Advanced Materials supplies mainline railway systems with self-supporting carbon collector strips including epoxy bonding of carbon to aluminium providing

• Reduction in pan head mass
• Improved dynamic response

Auto Drop

Many high speed systems incorporate an impact detection system within the collector strip. This device enables the pantograph to be lowered immediately if an impact occurs severe enough to damage the pantograph head.

The sensitivity of these systems varies according to the design.

Morgan designs and manufactures auto-drop systems to suit your application.  Please click the auto-drop link to find out more.
