KTR - Railway and traffic engineering 
Railway and traffic engineering

Point the way ahead to more mobility

The whole world wants to be mobile – and consequently the requirement for more commuter rail traffic increases. Global competition for all manufacturers ensures that all organisations look to provide high quality products for low costs. KTR are able to play an important contribution that helps rail vehicles drive perfectly and at low cost. With almost 40 years of experience in railway technology we continuously deliver new innovation as to how conventional mechanical engineering can be converted into high-tech.

At home on all rails in the world

We produce products for railway technology and associated engineering to the exact specifications demanded by this industry. Specifically adapted KTR couplings are not only used frequently in traction drives, tramways, city railways, underground trains, railcars or railway construction vehicles, but also on auxiliary drives like safety systems for doors and stairs, in current collectors and points setting systems as well as inclining technology.

More control, more comfort, more kilometers

Make use of our ROTEX® coupling on traction drives that are capable of travelling around the world up to 25 times! Use our RADEX®-MK on compact drives with single bearings which produce a smooth running vehicle. Make use of ROTEX® to make power packs that have a more compact design and help them run more reliably. You can also use the fail-safe ROTEX® GS in electro-hydraulic points setting systems to ensure a longer service life. For rail-road vehicles like tunnel rescue vehicles we have other products available - special drive couplings RADEX®-N, for separate hydrostatic drives BoWex® FLE-PA and for trackbed maintenance vehicles you will benefit from those solutions that we each adapt to the individual application.

A clever move: design with the help of KTR

Our engineers can assist you during the design stage and will help find the optimum, low-cost solutions for your special applications. KTR products that have been adapted or specifically designed are already used in many aspects of railway technology. We are pleased to pass on this experience to you.
