Rail Vibration Isolator
Rail Vibration Isolator for Floating Slab Track Systems
LUOFU Rail Vibration Isolators are engineered for floating slab track (FST) systems to reduce railway vibration, ground-borne noise, and structure-borne vibration in urban rail transit, metro systems, high-speed railways, and sensitive buildings.
Designed with an adjustable steel spring isolation structure, the system provides stable load distribution, excellent vibration attenuation, and long-term operational reliability while minimizing maintenance requirements throughout the service life of the railway.
Our vibration isolation systems are widely used in metro tunnels, underground railways, bridges, viaducts, high-speed rail corridors, hospitals, laboratories, museums, schools, and other vibration-sensitive environments.
