An important part of preparing the air is removing water vapor from the compressed air.
The presence of water is harmful for several reasons:
- causes corrosion on the inside surface of the fittings,
- can freeze and disable vital equipment,
- decreases the useful volume of air tanks, thus decreases the amount of energy that can be stored in them.
There are several options to remove water vapor. Szakálfém LLC. manufactures different size dual-chamber air driers using adsorption principle, based on the documents and in cooperation with Experiment LLC. (Jászberény).
These fix or vehicle-installed air driers can decrease the air’s dew point to at least minus 35 degrees Celsius.

In case of modern microprocessor-based anti-skidding equipment the insufficient adhesive force between the wheel and the track controls the skidding of the wheel-set. Due to its definition the device measures the speed of all of the railway vehicle wheels through the revolutions transmitter.
A computer analyzes the measured data and controls the brake cylinder pressure accordingly for each wheel.
Szakálfém LLC. manufactures the two types of tooth generators installable on the axle-arms required for the device impulse transmitter. In one configuration the signal transmitting gear is journaled in the bearing cap, driven with a cog. In the other version the gear is installed on the axle-arm. The following figure shows the geared signal transmitter installed on the axle-arm.
Mostly in cases of electric-driven railway vehicles so-called back current is created in the bogie bearings. These back currents, if taken off through the bearings, can cause their early breakdowns.
The axle-arm grounding device manufactured by Szakálfém LLC. makes it possible to directly transfer the back current to the axle, bypassing the bearing.The axle-arm grounding device can transfer back current to the bogie axle in the 200A – 400A current range.
Sometimes during operation railway vehicles must be fixed against movement. The hand brake and locking brake serve this purpose. The hand brake is a mechanical brake that can be operated – even during movement – either from inside the vehicle or from a place constructed on the car’s undercarriage.
On railway freight cars locking brakes are used in the vehicle’s stationary position from the side and by standing next to the car.
Szakálfém LLC. manufactures parts for spindle locking brakes:
- geared transmission,
- spindle,
- spindle nut,
- lever,
- brake tension-bar, which belongs to the car’s mechanic brake.
In bearings of railway vehicles, especially electricity driven ones, flow of back-currents must be avoided.
Reverse currents may cause early breakdown of bearings.

To examine and monitor railway vehicle break status Szakálfém LLC. has developed and manufactures pneumatic break display devices. The dual-position display device can indicate several operating status:
- indicates the disengaged or engaged status of the break cylinders with spring force storage,
- indicates the disengaged or engaged status of the break cylinders,
- indicates the hand break status (disengaged or engaged) on vehicles with disk break,
- indicates the breaking status (empty – loaded) of cars with automatic empty load device.
It is recommended to use three-position display device to examine and monitor break status on railway cars with disk brakes. One window of the breaking status indicator displays the hand break status, while the other indicates the released brake status with the appropriate pictograms and colors. Green means released, red means engaged status while breaking operates with air pressure. In case of pressureless air tank a special white table indicates that the vehicle hand brake must be checked.
The first and most important part of the bogie in railway vehicles is the bearing, which transfers the vertical and horizontal forces generated during operation between the wheel and the car-body. In railway vehicles the roller bearing has already replaced the journal bearing.
Szakálfém LLC. manufactures the railway bearing-boxes used in railway vehicles from the acquisition of the rough-cast until the final refining of the bearing-box.
