Product Definition:
A railway pantograph slider is a device that helps to keep the contact between the pantograph and the overhead wire system in place. It is an important part of the railway system as it helps to ensure that power is transferred from the wires to the train, allowing it to move.
Pure Carbon Slider:
Pure Carbon Slider is a device that is used in railway pantograph to increase the speed of trains. It's main function is to reduce the train’s momentum when it starts from a halt or slow moving condition and provide additional push for accelerating.
The pure carbon element provides an advantage over traditional sliders as it eliminates any risk of sparks caused by friction, which makes its working environment much safer than other products available in the market.
Metallic Carbon Slider:
Metallic carbon sliders are made of a single piece of carbon steel which is coated with pure metallic silver. It has several advantages over traditional metal pantographs, which include high strength and rigidity. The weight saving achieved by the use of this product is around 30% as compared to conventional metal sliders, thus increasing its adoption in heavy-duty applications such as railways.
The product also provides better resistance against corrosion.
Application Insights:
EMU was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The pantograph sliders for electric locomotives are designed with a pure carbon steel blade that provides better contact with the railhead and shoeing compared to other materials. These products are manufactured using high strength steel, which results in enhanced durability of the product as well as increased efficiency of traction motors.
The Electric Locomotive category includes diesel-electric hybrid locomotives, electric multiple units (EMUs) and diesel/electric locomotives used on freight trains. The demand for these products is anticipated to increase significantly owing to increasing adoption of such technology across various applications including metros, light railways & subways and narrow gauge railways among others over the coming years. In addition, technological advancements coupled with improved design features offered by railway companies will further boost industry growth over next few years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global railway pantograph slider market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing government investments and favorable policies for infrastructure development, which will drive demand for electric locomotives and rolling stock, thereby driving industry growth.
Europe is anticipated to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to an increase in electrification of rail routes as well as implementation of new technologies such as bi-directional traction motors on electric trainsets coupled with a rise in passenger traffic volume. Moreover, technological advancements such as active braking systems are also anticipated boost product demand across this region during the forecast period.
The European Union has implemented several initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions from diesel-powered locomotives by introducing stringent regulations regarding their emission levels into law known as EC Directive 2014/95/EU 2016/2283 (the Rail Package).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for railway transportation
- Growing urbanization and industrialization
- Development of high-speed railways
- Technological advancements in pantograph slider systems
- Rising awareness about safety and security in railway transportation

Frequently Asked Questions?
Railway pantograph slider is a type of railway signalling system that allows trains to pass each other safely. It consists of a pair of sliding rails on which the pantographs (or "pantographs") are mounted. When the signalman wants to allow a train through, he lowers the sliders towards the track, stopping them just before they reach the rail. This allows traffic ahead to pass without having to stop and wait for the train.
Some of the major companies in the railway pantograph slider market are Schunk Carbon Technology, Morgan Advanced Materials, Yiyang Group, Wabtec Corporation, Vanguard Tech, LiaoNing HongDe Electrical Carbon Products Co., LTD,, Doneka, Mersen.
