CSV 24

THE BENCHMARK FOR LIGHT RAIL SYSTEMS

The CONTEC CSV 24 is setting the benchmark

for grooved rail and T-rail switch machi-

nes in light rail systems.

With an overall switch machine height of

180 mm (7 inches) only, CONTEC is

able to offer a very low profile de-

sign allowing the installation on top of

a regular wooden or concrete tie or con-

crete slab. Simple time-saving installation

and maintenance procedures guarantee

highest operating efficiency and low life

cycle costs (LCC).

The modular design makes the switch ma-

chine available for installation on the main

line as well as in depots.

Maximum reliability under most ex-

treme conditions and the compatibility with

other systems are making the CSV 24 the

primary choice for initial installation or re-

trofits into existing railway environments.

CSV 34

THE OPTIMIZED MANUAL SWITCH MACHINE

The switch machine CONTEC CSV 34 was

designed for manually operated grooved

rail and T-rail turnouts. The set-up of the

machine is clearly structured, easy to under-

stand and very effective.

The standard version of the CSV 34 is based

on proven mechanical components which

are installed in an earth box, crossable

by individual traffic, or equivalent devices

to complete new or existing turnouts.

We only process high quality material

proven for long term use in rough railway

environments, reducing the maintenance

required and therefore minimizing the asso-

ciated costs.

The watertight stainless steel box of the

switch machine CitySwitch CSV 24 has

outer dimensions of approx. 1000 x 550 x

180 mm (40 x 21.5 x 7 inches). All mecha-

nic, hydraulic and electric components

are installed into this very low profile box.

The compact outline – particularly the low

height of the CitySwitch CSV 24 – opens

a wide-spread field of applications for

all kinds of grooved and T-rail turnouts,

whether new or already in service.

The CSV 24 is perfectly suitable for instal-

lation in residential areas, as noise emission

is far below other light rail switch machines

on the market.

There are already more than 600 CSV 24

switch machines in world wide operation

due to the convincing features – just 3

years after introduction into the market.

The watertight box of the CSV 24 switch

machine as well as all external compon-

ents are made of stainless steel.

Every mechanically strained part is made

of special steel - inductive hardened. Even

after a test with more than 1 million cyc-

les under load the components have still

been within manufacturing tolerance!

In addition, all hydraulic components are

combined in a Mono-Block Drive Unit. No

pipes, hoses or fittings.

YOUR NO. 1 CHOICE FOR ALL APPLICATIONS

The compact design simplifies the instal-

lation - also into existing earth boxes of

other vendors. Besides, the CSV 24 is plug-

and-play compatible with all available

control systems and power supply volta-

ges ranging from 24 to 750 V AC and DC.

Customizing the switch machine is easy.

Supplementary to the basic CSV 24 with

spring setting device various add-on modu-

les like separate detector rods and internal

(trailable) locking devices are available.

Thanks to the fully modular structure all add-

on modules can be retrofitted at a later date.

For turnouts with switch rods, connecting

the switch points or for moveable point

frogs, a prism locking device is avail-

able. All locking principals are EBA (German

Federal Railway Association) approved.

Single components or modules can

be replaced quickly and easily

with few tools, resulting in less

required maintenance and

reduced costs.

BE IN TRIM FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY

The manual switch machine CSV 34 is

operated by a recess connected to the

setting lever of the machine or by the ve-

hicle trailing through the turnout. The CSV

34 is available for installation into track,

starting with 900 mm (35 inches) gauge.

By changing the position of a single compo-

nent, the switch machine can be converted

from standard to automatic return operation.

The maximum throw is 80 mm (3.15 in-

ches), respectively 120 mm (4.75 inches).

The switch machine is clearly structured,

simply and effectively designed. Two coil

springs are provided to secure the points

in the end positions and to push the points

into a chosen end position after trailing.

Mechanically separated adjustable end posi-

tion dampers allow for high trailing speeds.

Similar to the CSV 24 type there are add-on

modules available for the CSV 34: two se-

parate detector rods to monitor the position

of the points and a roller locking device for

increased holding force in the end position.

When developing the CSV 34 the main

targets were: maximum reliability and

low maintenance operation. Bushings and

bearings are equipped with latest

wear-resistant components. Using high

quality material like stainless steel

and inductive hardened steel underli-

nes the high quality of the CSV 34.

LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM SOLUTIONS

EXPERT OPTIMIZED TECHNOLOGY FOR EXPERTS

CONTEC offers switch setting devices und

turnout control systems. Based on long-term

experience gathered in national and inter-

national projects, CONTEC stands for safe

and reliable technology. Our system solution

package for public transport can be inte-

grated into existing networks at any time.

During design and planning our main fo-

cus is to exactly meet with our client‘s

expectations and needs. Installations,

commissioning and maintenance training is

performed by our experienced specialists.

CSV 24 KV-P-EH-M - MAINLINE

Upper speed range: CSV 24 KV-P-EH-M

is approved for maximum mainline

speeds. The locking mechanism is certified

according to safety class AK 6 and EBA

approved in full accordance with DB stan-

dards. Due to its well proven technology,

CSV 24 KV-P-EH-M offers highest levels

regarding safety and reliability.

CSV 24 O-(P)-EH-M - DEPOT

Lower speed range: CSV 24 O-(P)-EH-M

is specifically designed for depot appli-

cations. The turnout tongues are spring

loaded held in end position; therefore,

the switch machine is fully capable for

trailing as standard operation. After trai-

ling, the switch machine is ready for

the next operation immediately.

Reliability by experience: CSV 34 offers

safe holding and setting characteristics,

taylorised to the needs and conditions of

the respective tramway and metro systems.

Holding force and trailing are adjustable

as per system‘s specification and require-

ments.

The optional detection and roller lock

modules guarantee for full-range adapta-

bility to all requirements of any system.
