Product Sheet Deformation Tubes

The document summarizes deformation tube devices that efficiently absorb energy through controlled deformation. It provides details on the standard range of deformation tubes including stroke lengths, deforming forces from 400kN to 850kN, and energy absorption capabilities up to 421kJ. The deformation tubes see applications in metro, light rail, locomotive, freight, and high speed systems when used to complement recoverable energy absorbers for effective crash protection and low operating costs.
