Information Session
Screw connections on
rail vehicles
Secure bolting is a key issue in rail vehicle construction.
But what role do standards, directives, regulations and laws actually play
and how do the new requirements of EN 17976
have on construction and maintenance compared to DIN 25201?
In this information event, we will shed light on changes, concretizations and
possible contradictions that may harbor potential for engineers and
engineers and designers. In addition to the initial overview
the focus will be on dialog and sharing experiences - for greater safety,
clarity and practical relevance in day-to-day engineering.
These topics await you...
