Ease of installation and de-mounting of this super-strength low-maintenance magnet saves significant time and money. The Automatic Power Control magnet instructs an electric locomotive to open the circuit breaker and switch back afterwards.
Benefits
- Typical cost savings – £3,000 – £4,000 per location
- 2-3 minutes installation and de-mounting reducing possession time and manpower
- Uses strongest permanent magnet technology available (rare earth technology) resulting in a high magnetic field
- Minimal maintenance required – no denigration over time regardless of temperature, operating cycles or shock
- Lightweight assembly (no lifting equipment required)
- Low profile so less risk of being struck
- Attaches to one sleeper only irrespective of fastener type
- Compatible with any standard concrete or timber sleepers
- Does not need to be removed for tamping operations
- Can be installed into switch and crossing sites
Fact file
- Using rare earth magnets typically halves the size of the products. The old APC magnet technology took up the bay between 2 sleepers
- As with all the rare earth range, these magnets do not denigrate over time regardless of temperature cycles or shock
