The slide chair is a component that is placed under the tongue rails to facilitate the adjustment of the rails. The length of these chairs corresponds to the maximum horizontal movement of the tongue rails. It is important to note that the surfaces of the slide chairs must always be coated with lubricants.
Recently, roller slide chairs have been used in modern switches.
Advantages of Roller Slide Chairs:
- Simple and quick adjustment
- No need for lubrication
- Resistant to high compression impacts
- Significant reduction in the force required to move the switch machine by up to 60%
- Environmentally friendly (no lubricants)
- Easy and fast replacement of spare parts
- Short payback period
- Significant reduction in maintenance costs
- Payback for replacing slide chairs after one year of operation
AT Slide Chairs
IRID Company, in addition to having access to a wide range of existing designs for various applications, is capable of designing and manufacturing products based on customer needs. AT slide chairs for switches are designed and produced at Irid Company in accordance with the latest global designs, ensuring the best performance and quality.
After the design, based on modern knowledge, the production of these slide chairs is carried out using casting and then machining. In addition, the company is also capable of providing various welded slide chairs that are often required in specific designs and in smaller quantities.
Advantages:
- Usable in high-speed lines, heavy load transportation, and high traffic.
- Stabilization of adjacent rails using internal and external elastic clamps.
- All sliding plates can be offered with a nickel-chrome or molybdenum coating, which are resistant to corrosion and do not require lubrication.
- Increased spring action in the switch SP section.
- Enhanced safety.
- Passenger comfort.
- Extended lifespan of rail blades and passing wheels.
- Reduced maintenance and repair costs.
- Environmentally friendly.
- Decreased separation force (adhesion) of the tongue when used simultaneously with the Irid roller system.
- Made from ductile iron, ready for installation.
Roller Slide Chairs
The tongue rail is one of the most important parts of the rail switch, determining the path of the rail system as it slides on the slide chairs. The use of conventional slide chairs has created numerous issues due to the sliding of the steel surfaces of the tongue rail against the slide chairs, consequently imposing high inspection, maintenance, and repair costs on operators. To address this problem, a new generation of slide chairs is being widely deployed in railway lines worldwide, and for the first time in the country, this product has been designed and produced by the skilled engineers of this company. The use of roller slide chairs improves the performance of rail switches and reduces maintenance costs for rail lines. Given that there is no need for servicing and lubrication for this generation of slide chairs, this component serves as a suitable alternative to conventional slide chairs in modern railway lines.
