The rail industry is deeply rooted in Germany’s industrial landscape and plays a key role in ensuring sustainable mobility for the future. Increasing demands for climate protection, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are continuously driving the industry’s technological advancement. In addition to lightweight construction concepts, research and development focuses on the optimization of powertrains, digital condition monitoring, reduced life-cycle costs, and energy-efficient components and drive systems.

In rail vehicle manufacturing, spur gears are used in numerous applications, particularly in the powertrains of modern locomotives. Here, the highest standards for low noise, power density, efficiency, and durability must be met. With its many years of expertise in gear cutting and measurement technology, Klingelnberg supports manufacturers and suppliers in producing transmission components with the highest precision, quality, and reliability.
