##### Record-breaker CX Pantograph

##### Still relevant after 20 years of service-proven operations worldwide and one speed world record, our CX pantograph is our featured pantograph for high-speed applications. This pantograph allowed a TGV to break the world’s speed record for a train on tracks in 2007 going up to 574,8 km/h.

##### Its unique and patented electro-pneumatic control unit ensures stable & optimized force during operation even in the case of different train configurations for faster line tests and best current quality in service. The integrated maintenance software prevents accidents linked to pantograph defaults.

### Contact strips panto

##### Low wear pantograph contact strips

##### Our carbon grades RH84 and RH84M8 are proven to provide the best mm/km wear rate ratio under normal operating currents. For high currents, our highly impregnated grades RH83M8 and other special grades deliver outstanding performance without negative impacts on the contact wire. Ask us about our many features, including wear detection and winter strips.

##### Thanks to improved design, condition-based maintenance, and low wear, our focus is on being responsible with raw materials. Our carbon strips are already composed of up to 20% recycled material.
