Rail web damper
Combat noise before it arises
The weight of the rail web damper reduces the vibration and thus reduces noise emission. The system is an effective way of combating noise before it occurs. A damper element is fitted on both sides of the rail web between two rail fastenings, each in the sleeper compartment. The rail web dampers do not need to be removed for maintenance work, for example for tamping work on the track, or for rail grinding.
Sound protection directly at the source
The rail web damper reduces noise generated directly at the point of contact between the wheel and the rail. The elements are attached to the rail web and help to dampen noise emissions where they are generated.
- Insulating elements mounted on the rail web
- Durable, robust and low-maintenance
- Due to the extremely narrow design, through-working is also possible in the radius
with a section tamping machine - No removal necessary during normal maintenance work on the track
- Inspection and surveying work is not affected
or hindered

Complete noise protection solution with the combined STRAILwave product range for reactivated tracks
After 45 years of closure, Nordhorn was reconnected to passenger transport. In order to protect local residents and recreational areas along the reactivated line, Bentheimer Eisenbahn AG opted for a combination of three STRAILwave noise protection products: rail web dampers, IP and the mSW 360 mini noise barrier. Planning, organization and installation were successfully completed in just a few weeks.
