These components ensure consistent and efficient power transfer, critical for the smooth and reliable operation of both urban transit systems and long-distance rail services.</p> </details> </li> <li class="paragraph__faq__item"> <details class="faq"> <summary class="faq__summary">What are the key properties of electrical carbon for aerospace?</summary> <p>The key properties of electrical carbon for aerospace include:</p> <ul> <li>high thermal stability</li> <li>excellent electrical conductivity</li> <li>resistance to environmental stressors such as vibration and extreme temperatures.</li> </ul> <p>These characteristics ensure reliable performance in critical aerospace applications, including power generation, electrical distribution systems, and safety-critical components where consistent electrical contact is vital.</p> </details> </li> <li class="paragraph__faq__item"> <details class="faq"> <summary class="faq__summary">What are the maintenance requirements for electrical carbon components in rail vehicles?</summary> <p>The maintenance requirements for electrical carbon components in rolling stock typically involve regular inspections to ensure proper alignment and pressure of carbon brushes, cleaning to prevent dust build-up, and timely replacement to avoid excessive wear and tear. Such maintenance helps maintain optimal conductivity and extends the lifespan of the components, ensuring reliable and efficient power transfer throughout the vehicle's service life.</p> </details> </li> <li class="paragraph__faq__item"> <details class="faq"> <summary class="faq__summary">How do pantograph contact strips enhance the connection between the pantograph and catenary in rolling stocks in the railway industry?</summary> <p>Pantograph contact strips are integral to the current transfer collection system in rolling stock for rails, facilitating a robust connection between the pantograph and the overhead catenary. Made from high-quality electrical carbon, these strips ensure effective and smooth electrical conductivity, crucial for the seamless operation of trains. The carbon strips' high durability and superior electrical properties minimize wear and electrical resistance, optimizing the efficiency of the current transfer, especially in high-speed rail applications.</p> </details> </li> </ul> </div> </li> <li> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--push paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="paragraph--type--push__wrapper blockpush"> <div class="blockpush__editorial"> <div class="blockpush__editorial__wrapper"> <div class="paragraph__header"> <p class="paragraph__header__suptitle">Contact</p> <h2 class="paragraph__header__title">Need to get information on our current transfer and electrical carbon applications?</h2> </div> <div class="blockpush__editorial__cta"><a href="/en/contact">Contact us now</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> </ul> <div class="related-markets-solutions paragraph -start"> <div class="paragraph__header"> <p class="paragraph__header__suptitle">Markets & Solutions</p> <h2 class="paragraph__header__title">Related Markets & Solutions</h2> </div> <div class="related-markets-solutions__body slider"> <div class='related-markets-solutions__body__items slider__items' data-slider-mobile="1.2" data-slider-tablet="2.2" data-slider-desktop="4"> <div class="related-markets-solutions__body__item"> <a class="en node node--type-market-application-service node--view-mode-teaser -atom card" href="/en/all-markets/transforming-air-sustainable-energy-mersen"> <h3>Wind</h3> </a> </div> <div class="related-markets-solutions__body__item"> <a class="en node node--type-market-application-service node--view-mode-teaser -atom card" href="/en/markets/hydro"> <h3>Hydroelectric Power</h3> </a> </div> <div class="related-markets-solutions__body__item"> <a class="en node node--type-market-application-service node--view-mode-teaser -wave card" href="/en/markets/thermal"> <h3>Thermal</h3> </a> </div> <div class="related-markets-solutions__body__item"> <a class="en node node--type-market-application-service node--view-mode-teaser -mountain card" href="/en/all-markets/optimizing-railways-mersen"> <h3>Railways and Metros</h3> </a> </div> <div class="related-markets-solutions__body__item"> <a class="en node node--type-market-application-service node--view-mode-teaser -square card" href="/en/all-markets/elevating-aerospace-mersen"> <h3>Aerospace</h3> </a> </div> <div class="related-markets-solutions__body__item"> <a class="en node node--type-market-application-service node--view-mode-teaser -atom card" href="/en/markets/metallurgy"> <h3>Metallurgy</h3> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <a href="#main-content" id="back-to-top"> <i class="icon icon-small-up"></i> <span class="sr-only">Back to top</span> </a> </main> <footer class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="footer__primary"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-mersen-configpage-footer-main" class="block block-config-pages block-config-pages-block"> <div class="config_pages footer__primary__informations config_pages--type--footer-elements config_pages--view-mode--main-informations config_pages--footer-elements--main-informations"> <img src="/themes/custom/mersen/assets/images/logo-footer.svg" alt="Mersen logo" class="image-style-footer-logo"> <div class="footer__primary__wrapper"> <div class="footer__primary__txt"> <div class="field field--name-field-text-under-logo field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Mersen is a global expert in electrical power and advanced materials for high-tech industries.<br /> <br /> With more than 50 industrial sites and 18 R&D centers in 33 countries around the world, Mersen develops customized solutions and delivers key products to its clients in order to meet the new technological challenges shaping tomorrow’s world.</div> </div> <div class="footer__primary__rs"> <div class="field field--name-field-url-fb field--type-link field--label-hidden field__item"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Mersen" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="is-external" title="Facebook -
