Arthur Flury - Material for Overhead Contact Lines

Arthur Flury, founded in 1920, is a leading worldwide specialist for the design and manufacture of components for overhead contact lines.

High-quality section insulators, phase breaks and composite insulator rods

These section insulators and phase breaks are developed and manufactured according to Arthur Flury's extensive activity in numerous international projects. The company's worldwide exposure ensures sensitivity to this issue and the transfer of its experience gained on various rail operations.

Arthur Flury provides sectioning devices for low voltage DC like trolley systems, tramways and suburban railways, but also AC up to 25kV like freight and high-speed railways.

For connecting different phases or high-voltage systems in the overhead line, Arthur Flury is a specialist in developing custom-made voltage separation as well as automatic switched phase breaks. The composite insulator rods for contact wire and catenary wires are a very important part of this technology.

Complete range of fixing components

A complete range of fixing components can be provided with its conical couplers, forked collar sockets, droppers suitable for any railway system, contact wire splices and special clamps.

A clever product concept, mostly of copper-based alloys or high-grade stainless steel and manufactured by cold-forming processes, ensure light, strong and reliable components for a long service life.

A comprehensive overhead contact line earthing program

Arthur Flury has a comprehensive program for the temporary earthing of overhead contact lines during maintenance and repair.

The fundamental or deep earthing system for such structures as masts, antennas, chimneys, towers, transformer stations and houses meets the requirements of electrical engineering and lightning protection technologies. The systems are highly reliable, with lightweight voltage testers, up to 36kV, as supplementary products.

Specific overhead line solutions

Through years of research Arthur Flury has developed products and accessories of lightweight construction for this age of high-speed railways. Thanks to its comprehensive know-how and modular batch production, optimal solutions for every railway company can be offered.

Representation and support

Thanks to the company's well-developed representative network, its products and services are present all over the world and many contractors and customers trust in the know-how of its engineers.
