Crossing with linear displaceable frog
The Linear Displaceable Frog (LDF) was developed to reduce the wear inside the frog to a minimum. Due to slideable frog centers, the crossing with Linear Displaceable Frogs always simulates a normal track and allows for a continuous rail running without interruptions. The use of guard rails is no longer required. It is possible to omit track guiding and the application of specially hardened material for the frog. A reduction of running speed in the crossing area is not mandatory any more.
Crossings with Linear Displaceable Frogs are most suitable for all track gauges requested for urban traffic and long-distance traffic. The Linear Displaceable Frog can be combined with any rail section.
The installation of the Linear Displaceable Frog not only enhances the riding comfort by simulating a normal track, but reduces wear to a minimum. This finally increases the safety of the track system while at the same time reducing the maintenance costs.
