Solutions for Bogie Cabling
The railway sector places demanding requirements on connection technology and cabling, especially for bogie applications. That is why HARTING offers extensive expertise for developing of sensor, data, signal and power cabling. The constant movement of the components, continual vibrations, as well as the dangers posed by rock impacts and variable weather conditions all present very tough demands on the quality and reliability of the materials used.
Axle sensor cabling on a wheel axle is used to monitor the speed of the train.

Outstanding durability guaranteed
The robust housings of HARTING's Han® HPR series feature all the properties needed to survive in this harsh environment. When used together with the modular Han-Modular® connector series, the proper, individual solution can be found for every application. The Han® HC contacts (HighCurrent) are very well suited for transmitting high currents. The use of perfectly matched components ensures a long service life for the cabling solution, which then minimises maintenance costs and speeds up maintenance. During maintenance work, the connection can be quickly and easily disconnected and re-connected using a cable assembly.
Customised simulations and tests
Customised cabling solution with HARTING connectors, which can be connected directly as a Plug-and-Play solution.
Based on customer requirements, HARTING develops both customised and standard solutions that contribute to modularity. This increases interchangeability, reduces production costs and speeds up development. Production specialists plan the mechanical and electrical construction as well as the design of the overall system. At our in-house accredited HARTING test laboratory (certified according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2018), we carry out individual simulations and tests using internal measurements to verify the required performance of the data cables. This means that our systems are 100% electrically and mechanically tested so they can be used immediately in Plug-and-Play mode. In compliance with EN 45545-2 (HL1 – HL3), the bogie cabling meets the fire protection requirements for railway vehicles.
Global competence
HARTING's global competence centres enable us to develop tailor-made solutions for our customers and to produce them close to their place of use by taking advantage of our local and regional certified manufacturing centres. We meet all the requirements of the railway market.
