Reliable and robust. Our coupling rods for double slip switch – essential for safe and efficient railway operations.
Our coupling rods ensure a safe and reliable position of the switch device in the technically complex double slip switch. They connect the switch blades to each other and ensure that they are moved synchronously and precisely. This is particularly important in busy railway stations, shunting areas and urban transport systems where high operational efficiency is required.
Coupling rods from CDP Railsystems are characterised in particular by their robustness and durability. They are specially designed to withstand the high mechanical loads in railway operations and to function reliably even under extreme weather conditions. In this way, we ensure that your double slip switch always work optimally and meet the requirements of modern railway traffic.

A coupling rod mechanically connects the two movable points of a double crossing turnout.
This ensures that both points move synchronously and precisely when the turnout drive changes over.
This increases operational safety and reduces wear in the entire turnout system. You can find out more about the structure of a turnout and where to find the coupling rod in our blog article.
The coupling rod transmits the movement from one tongue to the other and ensures synchronization.
The actuating rod on the other hand, connects the switch blade directly to the drive and actively moves it.
Both components work together, but fulfill different functions in the switch blade area of the turnout.
Yes, coupling rods can be easily replaced if necessary or retrofitted in the course of modernization.
They are precisely adapted to the existing switch device and the geometry of the turnout to ensure precise interaction.
This process is usually possible without major intervention in the rest of the turnout structure.
This means that maintenance work can be carried out efficiently without long downtimes during operation.
