CDM-FLEXIBORD Narrows The Gap

CDM-FLEXIBORD is a flexible elastomeric platform buffer designed to narrow the gap between railway platforms and oncoming trains.

CDM-FLEXIBORD is designed to have a low stiffness when dealing with impacts from train or tram (horizontal direction), and to have a very high stiffness in the vertical direction. These properties are not easily achievable with conventional elastomers but allow for an important reduction of the platform – train gap.

1 Increased passenger safety
2 Flexible side buffer minimising impact damage to rolling stock and platform

The CDM-FLEXIBORD system can be fixed either horizontally - direct fixing, or vertically - bottom fixing, or integrated structural fixing inside the platform. CDM can adapt the system to suit specific dynamic envelopes and different platform edge types, and give guidance regarding the fixing method.
