Transition zones
Balance out stiffness variations and reduce wear on superstructure components
When changing from one type of superstructure to another, the components come under great stress because of variations in the stiffness. This increases the amount of maintenance required. Solutions offered by Getzner help to significantly reduce the stresses in transitions and the resulting maintenance costs.
Problems
- Ballast deterioration - White Spots
- Reduced travelling comfort
- Stiffness leap
- Protection of buildings
- High rate of superstructure component wear
- High level of maintenance
- High life cycle costs
- Lower route availability
Solution
Installing elastic elements reduces the shock loads and the vibrations that are transferred as the train passes. The defined use of highly elastic Sylomer® and Sylodyn® components compensates for the undefined variations in stiffness in the transition area.
- Reduction of ballast contact pressure
- Decreased deterioration rate
- Long-lasting and consistently high quality of track geometry
- Optimization of track elasticity reduces rail corrugation and leads to a quality improvement of the wheel-rail interaction
- Optimized load distribution through elongation of bending line of the rail
- Reduction of dynamic forces



Advantages for the customer
- Optimised graduation of large variations in stiffness and deflection differences
- More even load distribution
- Reduced ballast loading
- Fewer voids
- Reduced shocks as the train passes over
- Less settlement
- Less wear of superstructure components
- Increased safety and ride comfort
- Less maintenance work
- Increased availability
- Longer service life
