High-quality enclosures for railway technology from ROLEC

Rail technology is an indispensable tool in military logistics and operations, and contributes significantly to the effectiveness and flexibility of military missions.

Military railway technology is used in various areas:

Troop transport: Railways enable the rapid and efficient transport of large military units over long distances.
Transport of equipment: Rail vehicles are ideal for transporting heavy and bulky goods, such as tanks, ammunition and supplies.
Logistics and supply: Military railways support the logistical supply of troops in remote or hard-to-reach areas.

Modern military railway technology incorporates advanced technologies to meet the demands of military operations:

Specialised carriages: These are designed for the transport of specific military goods, such as tank transport carriages or ambulance carriages.
Armoured trains: These offer protection against attacks and are often deployed in conflict zones.
Mobile workshops: Some trains are designed as mobile workshops to carry out repairs and maintenance directly on site.

ROLEC is a competent partner in this field of defence technology. Numerous ROLEC solutions are also used for various applications in civil railway technology.

Advanced solutions for every application – ROLEC enclosures for defence technology

The requirements for electronic enclosures used in military defence technology are diverse and must meet high standards for both outdoor and indoor applications. ROLEC offers high-quality enclosures for military applications, which are customised mechanically to specifications in accordance with the highest military standards.

ROLEC provides solutions for these military requirements:

Robustness and durability: Enclosures must withstand extreme conditions, including impact, vibration, and mechanical stress.
Corrosion resistance: Especially for outdoor applications, a high level of resistance to corrosion caused by salt water and other environmental influences is required.
Temperature resistance: Enclosures must remain functional across a wide temperature range, from extreme cold to high heat.

Specific requirements for indoor and outdoor applications

Weather resistance: Enclosures must be protected against rain, snow, dust, and UV radiation.
Seawater-resistant coating: For maritime applications, a special coating is required that is resistant to salt water.
EMC shielding: Protection against electromagnetic interference is essential to ensure the reliable function of the electronics.
Space-saving design: Enclosures should be compact and easy to integrate in order to fit into confined spaces.
Easy maintenance: Enclosures must be easily accessible to simplify maintenance work and repairs.
Safety standards: Compliance with safety standards such as UL 94 V-0 for fire protection and IP protection ratings for dust and water resistance.

Technological features

Modular design: Enclosures should have a modular structure so that different components can be integrated easily.
Choice of materials: Use of high-strength materials such as glass-fibre-reinforced polyester or aluminium, which are both lightweight and robust.
Coating and painting: Highly weather-resistant powder coatings and camouflage coatings that are also effective in the infrared range.

Extremely robust. Utterly reliable. Enclosure solutions for railway technology from ROLEC

Electronic systems used in rail transport must be able to withstand extreme conditions. They must function reliably during continuous operation, as well as in changing weather conditions or under heavy mechanical stress caused by vibrations and shocks. For this demanding application, ROLEC offers robust, durable enclosures that ensure optimum protection for your railway components, both inside the vehicle and in outdoor areas on the train, track or at the station.

Our enclosure solutions are specially designed for railway technology and, depending on the requirements, meet relevant standards such as EN 50155 for the operation of electronic equipment in railway vehicles, EN 45545 for fire protection in rail transport, as well as high IP and IK protection ratings against dust, water, and impact. By using corrosion-resistant materials such as die-cast aluminium or glass-fibre-reinforced polyester, our enclosures are ideal for long-term outdoor use.

For extreme environments in railway applications, we offer special coatings and paint finishes. ROLEC offers powder coatings (F9) with WIWeB approvals, as also used in defence technology. The premium polyester powder 5936 is available in camouflage colours such as RAL 6031-F9 bronze green, RAL 1039-F9 sand beige, RAL 8027-F9 leather brown, and RAL 9021-F9 tar black – with excellent camouflage properties in the visible and infrared spectral range. These coatings are available as powder coating and wet paint finishes and meet the strict requirements of the defence equipment standard VG 95211. Ideal for safety-critical outdoor railway applications.

ROLEC offers not only standard products, but also individually modified enclosures on request – precisely according to drawings and application requirements. Options include precise milling, EMC shielding, pre-assembled cable glands, or integrated display windows.

Typical applications in railway technology:

Control and monitoring units
Data loggers for passenger and operating data
Sensor technology for point and door monitoring
Communication technology, such as WLAN, 5G, and train radio
Energy and charging technology

Rely on uncompromising quality, certified materials, and many years of experience in industrial enclosure manufacturing. ROLEC – your partner for safe electronic solutions on the railways.
