Wheels and rail measurement
RIC represents Calipri, the most innovative measurement system for wheel and rail profiles allowing a multitude of measurements with a single probe. The Calipri device measures wheels, brake discs, rails and switches quickly, without contact and without data alteration (changes of operators and external factors). The patented “Roll and Tilt” system ensures reproducibility by virtually eliminating any possibility of human error.
Oil, grease and lubricants
RIC represents Shell & Whitmore Reliability Solutions which is the reference in the treatment of rail/wheel friction. We offer a wide range of rail lubricants (curved or tangent) as well as fixed trackside lubrication devices.
Wheels
RIC represents KLW which manufactures the highest quality forged railway wheels made to customer specifications and requirements corresponding to the highest international standards. KLW manufactures more than 250 types of railway wheels and also supplies 80 types of railway tires for locomotives, wagons and trams. KLW is approved according to AAR standards for 12 types of wheels.
Wheel/Rail interface Friction management
RIC represents DIPOSTEL, a global Friction Management solutions provider with solid stick lubricants & friction modifiers, traction enhancers and with the OnTrak® HO tribometer which is the culmination of research pursued over the last 13 years. The tribometer measures the coefficient of friction on the top of rail as well as the gauge face. This system is fully autonomous and is not burdened with legacy system issues such as operator variation or limited range measurements.
Wheels vertical forces measurement
RIC represents IVM who has designed a lightweight, portable and easy to use weighing device to measure the vertical weight on each wheel of each axle to ensure weight distribution on rolling stock.
Switches, sleepers and other innovative products
RIC represents Kampa BV, a supplier specializing in the development of innovative solutions to enhance railway safety, passenger comfort, and track longevity, while reducing lifecycle costs.
