Welded Cap Rail - 4500 A for Metro / Subway Public Transportation systems. We manufacture our energy efficient third rails with pride to serve the world’s transportation infrastructure. Millions of passengers around the globe rely on Metro / Subway transit systems to get to their destinations. The third rail that powers these systems must be adaptable, reliable, electrically efficient, and trouble-free. Our Welded Cap Rail - 4500 A provide much lower resistance and greater electrical efficiency versus all steel third rails. The weight of aluminum rails is only 14% that of electrically equivalent steel rails. Rugged, corrosion-resistant stainless steel capped aluminum third rails provide excellent wear resistance and long life. We weld the stainless steel cap at the sides of the rail, which provides a smooth, imperfection-free running surface. The wrap-around cap ensures a tight bond between the stainless steel cap and aluminum conductor over a wide thermal range. Conductix-Wampfler is a IRIS certified manufacturer.
