In Touch with Innovation.

Schaltbau

Schaltbau is a German company specializing in switching and connectivity solutions for various industries. Founded in 1929, it offers products such as relays, switches, and connectivity solutions for the rail sector, industrial automation, and other critical applications. The company is known for its innovation, reliability, and high quality.

Main Markets:

Schaltbau is a global specialist in alternating and direct current switching, offering devices capable of switching high voltages and extinguishing resulting electrical arcs, ensuring safe switching.

Schaltbau is focused on developing products that address the specific needs of its customers.

The company is dedicated to creating complete, intelligent solutions for the control systems of modern railway vehicles. One such innovation is the Intelli Desk concept – a communication and wiring solution designed to integrate systems within the driver’s cabin of railway vehicles. This concept has become a benchmark for standardization and modularization as outlined by UIC 612.

The products used in these solutions include connectors, switches, micro-switches, and contactors, all specially designed to meet the stringent requirements set by EU standards concerning technical equipment for safety and occupational health protection.

The constant rise in energy and raw material prices is driving manufacturers in the intralogistics sector to develop sustainable and high-performance products using minimal energy. Alternative energy sources and efficient use of industrial trucks play a crucial role due to new connector variants for charging and combi contactors.

Product range:

The electromechanical components provided are used across all industrial sectors where it is essential for electrical systems to be connected, contacted, and controlled reliably under the harshest operating conditions.
