OCS is the core power supply equipment in power supply system of electrical railway traction. Its function is to supply power to the running electric locomotive incessantly. Different from the ordinary power transmission line, it must be fixed on the right top of the rail, and then locomotive can get power incessantly through the slip friction between top pantograph and contact wire. So everywhere that electric locomotive running through should span catenary. All catenary installation is hypaethral and it is always affected by kinds of bad weather, as well as its working state is changed with the running of electrical locomotive and has no standby, so working environment for catenary is complex and the request for it is higher. OCS components manufactured by SAITONG introduces and adopts international advanced technology, and optimize the design of key components products according to the technology feature of domestic rail transportation and feature of parallel products. The whole series of products have been homebred, and this caters to the construction and operation of Chinese rail transportation better. Aluminum alloy and copper alloy are adopted much in our product forging, now we have two forging line, and the manufacturing capability hits 2000kms/year. SAITONG is making the core components of Siemens Re250km/h and Re350km/h in China and can produce all catenary components refer to Chinese railway standard; we have passed the test of P.R.C catenary components inspection station. we have the sales ability.
