Solid State Treadles

These ‘treadles’ (actually inductive sensors) are clamped to the rail and detect the passage of train wheel flanges. They can be used on all track gauges from standard gauge to 15” gauge.

Features:

Solid state – no depression lever or other moving parts
Versions to suit all rail weights from 20 lb / yard to 113 lb per yard
Directional versions
Very long service life
No maintenance required
Supply voltage 24V DC
One set of normally open and one set of normally closed contacts

Operation

Each passing wheel flange is detected, so the output comprises a series of pulses. These can be used to activate a timer interface to give a ‘solid’ output that will pick, or drop, a relay. Axle counters for narrow gauge?!!

Supply includes mounting bracket and interface. Please contact Signal Aspects Ltd to discuss your requirement.
