Efficient fans and drive concepts for rail technology. 

Everything in motion. 

The world is changing. And with it, the way we get around. Rising energy and raw material prices mean that rail is becoming more attractive as a means of transport. 

So it’s good that with our EC fans and drive concepts for rail technology, we are playing a key role in making journeys more pleasant, comfortable and safe. For passengers and staff alike. 

Our energy-efficient, compact fans for ventilation systems create a pleasant climate in the passenger compartment and driver's cab. Modern drives ensure that train doors open and close noiselessly and safely. Motors on windshield wipers provide a clear view all along the line. And our innovative and sustainable solutions are also used in boarding aids and variable frequency drive and electronic cooling systems. 

Across all applications, we see ourselves as your technology partner for the development and production of optimal rail technology solutions. Below you can find out more about our product systems, their strengths and the benefits of working with ebm‑papst. 

We ensure our competitive edge through the perfect interaction of all components. 

For our pioneering application solutions, we always consider the perfect interaction of motor technology, electronics and aerodynamics – and not just the individual components. This enables us to make optimum and highly efficient use of air and motion, as well as intelligent connections. Whether in confined spaces, large dimensions or under extreme environmental conditions. 

We use our many years of experience when designing our products to bring benefits to you in the relevant application-specific environment. We use real conditions to perfectly hone our solutions to meet the requirements of rail technology. We attach great importance to the seemingly smallest details on the fan blades, fan wheels and drives. The result is significant improvements in terms of efficiency and noise. Our many years of industry expertise make us the ideal engineering partner and innovative system manufacturer of drive and fan solutions for rail technology.

Efficiency requirements and standards

It goes without saying that our fans meet all the necessary efficiency requirements and standards for use in rail vehicles:

  • EN 45545 2:2020 Fire protection on railway vehicles
    The fans satisfy the requirements of HL3 (certified by TÜV Süd). The fire protection requirements of the entire system must be assessed separately. 
  • EN 50121-3-2: 2016 Electromagnetic compatibility
  • EN 50155: 2017 Electronic equipment used on rolling stock
  • IEC 61373: 2010 Shock and vibration tests
    The fans are tested in accordance with Category 1B. The entire system must be tested separately. 
  • EN 15085-1/3: 2013 Welding of railway vehicles and components Weld quality CPC3

You can find all details on our product solutions for rail technology in our product catalog.
