A buffer stop is a device installed at the end of railway lines to stop a train in emergency situations, such as high speeds, technical faults in the suspension and braking systems, or human error, and to prevent severe damage and loss of life and property.
- Irid Company designs and manufactures various types of friction and friction-hydraulic buffer stops based on user needs.
- This device consists of a main structure and a shock absorber designed for intercity and urban trains.
- The friction model consists of a metal structure and several brake shoes with varying capacities.
After a train collides with the buffer stop, the brake shoes dissipate the train’s kinetic energy through their friction with the rail, causing the train to stop.
This product is produced based on modern technology and high-quality components, ensuring high durability and low maintenance costs.
The main shock absorber structure is designed to be compatible with railway vehicles, bumpers, and the couplers of wagons and locomotives.
In hydraulic-friction models, in addition to the brake shoes, a hydraulic jack also dampens a portion of the energy transmitted to the structure.
