Service & Components

Kiepe traction components conform to the strictest requirements set by the relevant railway standards and regulations. Decades of experience in development and production, combined with rigorous standards of testing, guarantee the highest quality.

You can find a brochure with an overview of our components here.

Converters

Power converters convert the electrical energy from the contact wire or the energy storage unit for the connected electrical components and systems. Vossloh Kiepe's range of converters covers any field of application from traction with many hundreds of kilowatt power to the various on-board power supply systems, e.g. with 24 V DC or 230 V AC.

 

Safety Products

To meet the requirement for fast braking or emergency stops safely and reliably, Vossloh Kiepe offers its own group of devices. Emergency brake switches are part of the standard equipment in a mass transit vehicle. Thanks to their design, the devices from Vossloh Kiepe have high memory capacities. Easy and reliable operation as well as protection from vandalism have been combined in the best possible way.

Control Units

Backed by wide-ranging practical experience and on the basis of close contacts with users, Vossloh Kiepe engineers design control units fitted for rough daily operation. Ergonomics and functional safety are the two most important properties of these Vossloh Kiepe controllers. Because of their modular design it is easy to adapt the devices to special electrical and mechanical requirements.

 

Current Collectors

Vossloh Kiepe has developed a compact series-production current collector system. Based on the modular principle, it can be adapted to individual needs. All the required properties have been tested in daily operation for many years and are in operation worldwide.

Contactors

Switching of high currents and voltages in vehicles requires competent technical solutions. The contactors and relays from Vossloh Kiepe have been used successfully for decades. Whether for the safe arc extinction during the switching of high direct currents or for the reliable demand for emergency braking.

 

Drive Technology

In close contact with users, Vossloh Kiepe has developed a device series that can withstand rough daily operation.
Because of their modular mechanical design it is easy to adapt the devices to special electrical and mechanical vehicle requirements.

 

Signalling Products

Vossloh Kiepe offers a selection of signal transmitters and warning bells used in a variety of applications and built to address the requirements of tough daily operation thanks to their high reliability and long life. The acoustic signals and their sounds have been selected for good yet non-irritating audibility.

 

Relays and Monitors

Vossloh Kiepe has its own family of devices for all the car and truck functions that cannot be performed by the mass-produced relays. Vossloh Kiepe designs and manufactures special-purpose devices for  situations in which standard products rapidly stop functioning.

 

Switches

Switching devices that are used daily in rail and road vehicles need to be robust and reliable. Such devices from Vossloh Kiepe have fulfilled this requirement for decades. Due to the extreme operating conditions in vehicles, designs are required that are carefully thought-out and have been tested in practical operation. The result is that Vossloh Kiepe switches have a long, low-maintenance life-span.

 

Service

Many customers know Vossloh Kiepe as a supplier of reliable devices and complete systems for rail and road vehicles.
However, Vossloh Kiepe has also been successfully active in the services sector for decades and offers extensive services for all kinds of rail and road vehicles.

 

Modernization


As a result of the tight financial pressure on many vehicle operators, Vossloh Kiepe has developed various modernization concepts together with these operators. The modernization of existing vehicles prolongs their service life, increases their ride comfort and thus frequency of use..
