DETAIL THAT DELIVERS ADVANTAGE

For this highly specialized

market we provide unique,
robust and efficient gear
systems, with a focus on
minimized maintenance
and low noise. From heavy
duty locomotive to light rail
applications, from low speed city
metros to very high speed trains:
IGW is your engineering partner
for any transmission solution.

We have been involved in major rail

projects around the world (more than 250),
covering trams and metro, plus high speed
trains in the Peoples Republic of China.
Our global presence means our gears
and gearboxes operate in all kinds
of environments from extreme heat
in Brazil to the arctic conditions of Norway.

 Gears are designed with load optimized

correction and profile ground using state
of the art grinding technology.

 Couplings for every application in

different designs (connection motor
to gear unit, or gear unit to axle).

RAILROAD PROJECTS

We supply complete systems, comprising

gearbox, couplings, reaction rod and
support elements, we can also adapt
to existing supply chains. The design

standardization of our labyrinths, covers

and bearings delivers valuable cost
advantages for our customers.

 Housings are as standard, made

from high grade ductile cast iron
(aluminum castings are also available).

 Bearings are selected for railway

applications conforming to specific
railway requirements.

WE HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN MORE
THAN 250 RAILROAD
PROJECTS AROUND
THE WORLD.

We handle all drive configurations (fully, semi or half-suspended),

as well as combinations of helical and bevel gears, plus all coupling
types and a range of housing arrangements.

TRAM

LRV DRIVES

OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR TIGHT REQUIREMENTS

We design and manufacture a variety of gear solutions for tram
and LRV applications across the world.
We are experienced in a wide range of
vehicle types and in a variety of gearbox
designs: wheel or axel-mounted, fully or
semi-suspended, single or double-helical,

bevel, helical bevel or bevel helical gear

units. Limited space, plus frequent stops
and starts with high torque values and
maximum load are typical requirements.
