Primary suspension for trains

Primary suspension guides and damps axles against the bogie frame to provide comfortable and reliable operation. Products include bump stops, conical bushings, chevrons, guide springs and conical springs, axle box isolation and bushings.

Integrated systems such as conical or chevron springs require minimal space while providing optimum functionality and safety. The products offer the best possible ratio between vertical and horizontal stiffness with great accuracy in order to achieve the highest quality and lowest lifecycle costs.

Secondary suspension for passenger comfort

Secondary suspension connects the rail car body to the bogie and is responsible for its damping and comfort functions.

The products reliably transmit significant forces and enhance comfort in driving mode. An important characteristic for reliable operation is to ensure car body stability in curves, as well as starting and braking conditions.

SumiRiko Industry France S.A.S. evaluates systems using technology from Sumitomo Electric and the Sumitomo Riko Group. The secondary suspension service portfolio includes transmission blocks, safety shields, circular supports and support bearings, as well as bolster, laminate and pneumatic concial springs.

Hydraulic mount technology

SumiRiko Industry France S.A.S. develops numerous innovative solutions, including hydraulic mount technology for enhanced suspension comfort and minimisation of deterioration.

SumiRiko Industry France S.A.S.’ secondary suspension integrates Sumitomo Electric Industries technology to provide optimum functionality and safety using minimal space. The company’s solutions use low-temperature compounds, optimise settling behaviour, and comply with fire and smoke safety standards.
