FL 200/260 (T)
The versatile, automatically tensioned overhead contact line system for speeds of up to 260 km/h
The versatile, automatically tensioned overhead contact line system for speeds of up to 260 km/h
Our FL 200/260 (T) system is an extremely versatile, automatically tensioned overhead contact line system with tubular hinged cantilevers, ideal for DC and AC tracks with speeds of up to 260 km/h.
The designation FL200/260 (T) is specified by (T) for tunnel projects, as some of the components differ from the construction type on open tracks.
The FL 200/260 (T) system is characterised by its lightweight, corrosion-resistant and easy-to-install components with simple geometries. The system comprises aluminium castings, various messenger wire clamps, steady arms and standardised insulators. The automatically tensioned design helps to balance temperature fluctuations and ensures constant tensile force in the messenger wires. This significantly reduces the sag of the contact wires, allowing for optimum contact with the pantograph.
Thanks to its outstanding properties, the FL 200/260 (T) is widely used in Switzerland – in tunnels, on open stretches and on curved sections. This design (as “System 01”) is used on large parts of the BLS Netz AG rail network, as well as on numerous other standard-gauge private railways. On metre-gauge railways, the FL 200/260 (T) is used by operators including Rhätische Bahn (RhB), Regionalverkehr Bern-Solothurn (RBS) and Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB).
The system can also be used with semi-tensioned overhead contact lines. The wide range of applications and trouble-free operation of the FL 200/260 (T) in various railway infrastructures underline the reliability and effectiveness of the system.
Planning is carried out using our in-house AutoCAD software ELFF. We are ideally equipped for future-oriented BIM planning (.ifc files) and are working continuously on developing the programme further. Further information on ELFF
