Schroff - Protection for Rail Electronic Systems

For more than 40 years Schroff has held a world-leading position regarding the reliable and secure protection of rail electronic systems.

Our decades of experience and comprehensive applications knowledge in rail systems enable us to offer precisely what will take you a step further: complete protection solutions that can be implemented globally, are developed to meet your particular requirements, and will withstand the strict safety requirements of railway applications, including international certification.

Protection systems for rail electronic equipment

Our comprehensive range of certified standard products demonstrates its capabilities and safe operation every day, on rail vehicles, in buildings and trackside. Thanks to our modular platform concept, Schroff products can be quickly and easily adapted to meet your individual requirements. They are so flexible that they impress on two counts: their high level of technical functionality and their ergonomic appearance.

Wall-mounted enclosures for rail electronic systems

We provide dustproof and waterproof wall-mounted enclosures for use on station platforms, in tunnels, in rail vehicles, at stations or in maintenance workshops. Composite cases mean they are ideal for highly corrosive environments.

Indoor cabinets for rail electronic equipment

Schroff offers a range of indoor cabinets for rail electronic equipment, including electronics cabinets for traffic-guidance systems and control computers, shock and vibration-resistant cabinets for mobile application on-board the vehicle, and data and network cabinets for data centres and control rooms.

Outdoor cabinets for rail electronic systems

Our outdoor cabinets for rail electronic systems include:

• Robust, climate-controlled outdoor cabinets for use trackside or on the platform
• Modular, maintenance-friendly outdoor cabinets for wall, mast and ground mounting
• Information panels for passenger information on the platform and in the station

Cooling solutions for rail electronic equipment

Schroff provides a range of cooling solutions for rail electronic equipment, including a passive meander system for maintenance-free and energy-efficient heat removal, an LHX heat exchanger for energy-optimised cooling of up to 40kW per cabinet, and fan trays and air conditioners for direct heat extraction.

Subracks and 19in chassis for rail electronic systems

We provide a range of subracks and 19in chassis for rail electronic systems. These rail-certified solutions are shock and vibration-resistant, shielded and optimally climate-controlled. Our modular subrack systems have flexible dimensions, and the complete chassis can be used for a variety of applications.

Embedded systems for rail electronic equipment

Our embedded systems for rail electronic equipment include subracks and cases with integrated backplanes, power supplies and cooling. Leading solutions conforming to the latest standards, our subracks' and cases' mechanics and electronics come from a single supplier, and are therefore perfectly compatible.

Front panels, plug-in units and handles for rail electronic systems

We supply a wide variety of front panels, plug-in units and handles for rail electronic systems, available in multiple finishes. Shielded or unshielded, custom modified or screen-printed on request, all our front panels, plug-in units and handles can be rapidly delivered (even custom models).

Power supply units for rail electronic equipment

Our 19in or open-frame power supply units for instrumentation and control equipment, communications devices and more are suitable for all European railway voltage ranges and have intelligent battery-charging systems.

Backplanes for rail electronic systems

We have a wide selection of VME, VME64x, VXS, VPX, CompactPCI, CompactPCI Plus and MicroTCA backplanes for rail electronic systems, plus individual solutions on request. SMD components ensure shock and vibration resistance, and a special protective lacquer (conformal coating) provides the best protection from environmental influences.
