Easydrive-i Point Machine

Overview

The Easydrive-i is an innovative electro-hydraulic point machine designed for in-track applications. It represents the most compact form of point machine, ensuring the safe positioning of switch blades while fitting seamlessly into narrow spaces. This product is ideal for various environments, including metro systems and tunnels.
Light and compact, the Easydrive-i point machine fits in small spaces while perfectly ensuring the safe position of the switch.

Key Features

The Easydrive-i can be installed directly between the rails on standard concrete or wooden bearers, as well as on slab track.

The point machine features an internal clamping mechanism that allows for accidental trailing without damage. A non-trailable version is also available.

Designed for high reliability and safety (SIL4), the Easydrive-i requires minimal maintenance.

Maintenance staff can operate the point machine safely from outside the track, with options for wall mounting or horizontal placement under a service dock.

Components

The Easydrive-i point machine consists of several key components:

  • Hydraulic jack
  • Two operating rods
  • Two detection rods
  • Trailing cartridge
  • Clamping detection modules
  • Position detection modules
  • Fast plug connectors
  • Protection cover

Technical Characteristics

  • Length: 535 mm
  • Width (off rods): 620 mm
  • Height: 145 mm
  • Weight: 95 Kg
  • On-site Adjustable Stroke: 100 to 160 mm
  • Operating Force: 4,000 N
  • Operating Time: < 2.5 s
  • Ingress Protection Rating: IP67
  • Safety Integrity Level: SIL4

Operation

The Easydrive-i operates by maneuvering the switch, clamping, and detecting the position of the blades. The external hydraulic unit activates a jack that actuates the switch. In the end positions, the point machine clamps the switch blade and engages the position detection system. In the event of trailing, the open switch blade is released, allowing the point machine to shift to the opposite position.
