HYDROSTAR® Setting System
HYDROSTAR® is a modern combined point operating, locking and detection system. It is used for switches (HYDROSTAR® ZV) as well as for movable point frogs (HYDROSTAR® HB).
Benefits:
- Compatibility with various interlocking systems
- Easy installation and handling
- Slim-fit design => perfect for installations in tunnels
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Sealed components
- Low life cycle costs
- Suitability for all turnout types
- Availability for switch assemblies as well as swing nose crossings
- Highest reliability and availability combined with maximum safety
- A system approved according to CENELEC 50126/50129
Maximum Performance. The HYDROSTAR® setting system provides you with optimum efficiency by consistently minimizing life-cycle costs. Its innovative encapsulated design is the main reason for a massively reduced preventive maintenance effort in the area of turnouts. All variants of HYDROSTAR® require only one power unit which enables a very convenient integration into the interlocking system. Smaller turnouts with movable point frogs can even be operated with a combined version that runs both turnout components using again only one power unit HYDROSTAR® is suitable for all turnout geometries and track superstructures. The use of individually tested assemblies and just-in-time delivery to the installation point guarantee maximum availability of your railway track. Fully automated tamping when installing in hollow sleepers also guarantees the highest level of efficiency.
