Design and Innovation
STEMMANN-TECHNIK focuses on robust, lightweight construction with efficient contact force and quality. The company continuously develops new technologies and solutions to meet evolving customer needs, ensuring products are technically advanced and efficient.
Quality Assurance
The company implements a quality management system based on DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 standards, ensuring high-quality production and service delivery.
Pantograph Systems
The document details various DSA roof-mounted pantographs, each designed for specific speed ranges and operational conditions. Key features include modular construction, adjustable static contact force, and compatibility with AC/DC systems. The DSA series ranges from the DSA 150, suitable for speeds up to 160 km/h, to the DSA 380, designed for high-speed routes up to 380 km/h. Features include automatic lowering systems and electro-pneumatic controllers to maintain consistent contact force.
Automatic Dropping Device (ADD)
This system prevents damage to overhead wires by automatically lowering damaged pantographs. It consists of an actuation unit and a pneumatic cylinder, ensuring minimal consequential damage and reducing repair costs.
Overhead Wire De-Icing System
To prevent icing on overhead wires, a non-icing system is offered, which coats wires with antifrost. This system reduces operational shutdowns and damage to wagon electronics, ensuring continuous electrical energy supply.
Stinger Systems
These systems provide energy to parked vehicles in maintenance areas, allowing for battery charging and other maintenance tasks. They include components like third rail shoegears and contact spikes.
Ground Contacts
The frost® ground contacts ensure effective reverse current flow in railway vehicles. They are available in axial and radial systems, each suited for specific applications and space conditions. The systems are robust, resistant to high impact stress, and offer low wear and high operational performance.
Service and Quality
STEMMANN-TECHNIK emphasizes customer satisfaction, offering preventive maintenance, inspections, and modernization services. The company adheres to international standards and provides original spare parts throughout the product's service life.

Company Information Global Player – Worldwide Presence Our company was founded in Luxembourg in 1912 by engineer August Stemmann. At that time, we were already involved with producing power supplies for cranes at steel and smelting works as well as for other mobile machines. Slip ring assemblies for rotating machines and pantograph systems for railway vehicles were added later on. We have been part of the Fandstan Electric Group since 1984 – a private holding company with subsidiaries in Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, France, China, India, Taiwan, the USA and Australia. The Fandstan...

Railway Technology Systems – Suburban Rail, Metro and Rapid Transit Systems for Third Rail Shoegears Pneumatic systems are powered by compressed air. The deployment and retraction to the conductor rail and attachment of the current collector is controlled or initiated centrally from the driver’s cabin. Inductive or mechanical proximity switches are used for detecting the shoe position. Pneumatic systems can also be actuated with insulated hand levers using the emergency function. Pneumatic system Mechanical systems are operated manually. The deployment and retraction of the current collector...
