Vibratech Hydraulic Telescopic Shock Absorbers (dampers) are custom designed specifically for your rail application in the most cost-effective manner possible. These high-performance shock absorbers have a variety of end mounts and a wide range of damping capability to suit a diversity of applications.

Three standard bore sizes are available to accommodate most rail damping requirements. Vibratech telescopic shock absorbers can be uniquely designed to fit your application to reduce lateral, vertical, or yaw motion.

Vibratech's rigorous testing simulates the motion and forces that a rail vehicle encounters when it is rolling. A computer program is developed based on actual data collected from a train going down the track. The shocks are mounted at angles that simulate the mounting position and are cycled under typical operating conditions. This type of testing ensures maximum performance and endurance.
