Silicone round strands especially for use on rail vehicles (Besilen®)

The strands have proved as current connection in the 3. current collector, at pantographs and as earth connection at wheel sets, coupling blocks and crane mountings on rail vehicles. The strands can be laid easily in narrow spaces due to its extremely flexible construction. The translucent insulation enables an easy control of the state of conductor. An additional copper support braiding under the insulation provides a supplementary reinforcement for applications with high mechanical stress.
