2.5 tonner battery locomotive CTY2.5
- An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or fuel cell. Electric locomotives with on-board fuelled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric locomotives because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system. Electricity is used to eliminate smoke and take advantage of the high efficiency of electric motors, but the cost of electrification means that usually only heavily used lines can be electrified.
Chassis
Constructed in welded steel and suspended by spring on grease bearing seats with tapered roller bearings.
Speed control
In order to achieve continuous and stepless speed regulation, they have an electronic speed controller with high reliability.
Brakes
Mechanical drum brake to the coupler.
Sanders
Mechanical sanding system to the rails.
Battery
The battery housing is constructed in steel plating with an interior anti-acid covering. Each device has 24 pcs series storage lead-acid batteries.
Buffers
The locomotive has two buffers with spring shock absorbers to achieve complete shock absorption against collisions.
We are now one of the top manufacturers of narrow gauge electric locomotives in China. Since establishment of the factory, we have sold more than thirty thousand sets of electric locomotives home and abroad. Furthermore, we are the only company in this field which have own department to produce the matching electric motors and batteries and control system.
