We bring the future to rail
Railway
Whether power transmission for powerful acceleration or effective damping of vibrations – components from SGF ensure train operation that is as reliable as it is comfortable.
SGF, that's
Railway - Expertise
Late in the evening on the train on the way back from a business meeting. Within a few minutes, your train accelerates to an impressive 300 kilometers per hour. At the end of the day, you and your colleagues treat yourself to a fresh draught Pilsner in the on-board restaurant. You drink it relaxed at the bar table.
Sounds good? It is. But neither the lightning-fast yet gentle acceleration of the train nor drinking beer standing up would be possible without the appropriate technical components.
This is exactly where we come in. With our products for power transmission, we provide plenty of thrust. With our solutions for vibration damping, we make a significant contribution to ride comfort. So that you can continue to enjoy your rail journey in the future.
