Rail measurement systems

Rail measurement systems from Kistler cover special applications such as Weigh In Motion, brake force measurement, and dynamic brake testing – read more.

Our rail measurement systems cover three specific applications: 1. Kistler’s next-generation Rail Weigh In Motion system delivers a full range of train condition and rail traffic data – including wheel loads and train weights, as you would expect. 2. The BFMS (Brake Force Measurement Solution ) leverages digital technology for highly efficient brake force testing – making life much easier for the rail service crews who carry out the maintenance process. 3. Our dynamic brake testing system based on optical Correvit technology ensures easy, standard-compliant testing and maintenance of rolling stock on all surfaces, at speeds of up to 250 km/h.

This turn-key measuring system for rail maintenance and engineering tasks measures rail brake forces and brake air pressure.
