With the continuous improvement of living standards and transportation networks, rail transit has become a popular choice for people to travel. On the other hand, establishing a multidimensional, diversified, and scientific transportation system is conducive to accelerating urbanization and promoting sustainable development.
Urban rail transit has a large transportation capacity due to high-density operation, short time intervals, high running speed, and multiple carriages. According to statistics, many subways can carry more than 1 million to 12 million passengers each year per kilometer, such as Moscow Metro, Beijing Subway, etc.
The heavy duty connector is a new type of connector widely used in heavy industry and industrial applications. Compared with traditional connectors, heavy duty connectors are more robust, waterproof, explosion-proof, and easy to wire. Therefore, they have gained high popularity in rail transit. On the other hand, heavy duty connectors have stringent environmental, mechanical, and electrical requirements due to their application scenarios and frequent uses.
This article will briefly introduce several rail transit systems and WEIPU‘s heavy duty connector solutions; keep reading!
Application of Connectors in Rail Transit System
Heavy duty connectors are core components of rail transit. It has wide applications in various railway systems, including the braking system, cabs, steering system, electrical control cabinet, gating system, air conditioning system, lighting system, carriage connection system, traction system, etc.
The heavy duty connector is used to meet the various data and signal transmission needs in the railway sector. For example, they provide support in passenger control, Internet and WiFi connectivity, display management, lighting control, and diagnostic support for key functions such as brakes, motors, door control, etc.
Why Rail Transit System Needs Heavy Duty Connectors
Ensuring the health and safety of operations is the top priority for rail transmission. In addition, the rail transit is shifting towards datamation and intelligence. Therefore, it requires connectors to meet various functions, including intelligent monitoring equipment, lighting system, disinfection system, etc. Last but not least, because rail transmission is susceptible to severe extreme weather such as high temperatures and hail, connectors require higher performance to accommodate some emergencies. Therefore, the rail transit system requires high-quality connectors, and heavy duty connectors are the optimal choice. In response to the market demand for high-quality heavy duty connectors, WEIPU has launched corresponding connector solutions. The following are the advantages of WEIPU heavy duty connectors:
