Cembre founded, Italy
One 36V battery platform.
The same CB3680L battery runs the LD-16B-RP rail drill, NR-25B impact wrench, TW-18B/300 torque wrench, SD-36B sleeper drill and the B70M-P36R hydraulic pump — fewer chargers, fewer spares, one fleet to manage.
Track Work Solutions
Everything a track crew needs on-site: rail web bonding, drilling, fastening and cutting — all battery-powered, all built to work in the weather and space a track actually gives you.
BONDING SYSTEM
AR60D Rail Web Connection
A low-resistance electrical contact to the rail web, installed cold in under a minute — no heat, no structural change to the rail, and it can be removed for track maintenance and reinstalled.
- Installed with the B1300TEP battery hydraulic tool — 700 bar, cordless, 900 mm flexible hose to the head
- Rail web 14–16.5 mm, Ø19–20 mm hole
- TEMPORail system for fast temporary bonding during maintenance and repair, installed/removed with the HT-TRC tool
IMPACT WRENCH
NR-25B Battery Impact Wrench
The most powerful and versatile battery impact wrench in Cembre’s range, built as a direct alternative to petrol-driven machines.
- 2700 Nm torque, dual drive for vertical and horizontal use
- IP44M rainproofing and a vibration-damping system
- Portable, or mounted on the CS-EU support trolley via interface kit
RAIL DRILLING
LD-16B-RP Battery Rail Drill
Rainproof cordless drilling with no exhaust gas, low noise and low vibration — and enough power to punch through the rail web fast.
- Drilling range Ø7–33 mm; with CY broach cutters, up to Ø33–40 mm on rail webs up to 50 mm thick
- Full range of templates and positioners for drilling mechanical joints
- Battery shared across the LD-16B-RP, NR-25B and TW-18B platform
TORQUE CONTROL
TW-18B/300 Torque Control Wrench
Epicyclic gearing and a brushless motor with pre-set torque parameters, so operators tighten rail-mounted clamping devices to spec every time.
- Optional GPS tracking of maintenance position
- IP44M rated; portable or on the CS-EU trolley
- RA-TW reaction arms available in 4 versions for different rail connections
SLEEPER DRILLS
SD-36B & SD-36B-PS
Best-in-class power-to-weight ratio for drilling wooden sleepers (SD-36B) and plastic composite sleepers (SD-36B-PS) — low noise, low vibration, no exhaust gas.
- Up to 100 holes on a single battery charge
- Electronic power control and reverse function
- Compatible with the CS-EU support trolley
SUPPORT TROLLEY
CS-EU
The shared platform underneath the impact wrench, torque wrench and sleeper drills — keeps tools upright, reduces operator fatigue and doubles as a carrying handle.
- Interface kits for vertical or horizontal tool mounting
- Sized for the NR-25B, TW-18B/300 and SD-36B/PS
CUTTING OFF
RDS-14PN-AA & RDS-20PN-SA Rail Saws
The RDS-14PN-AA automatic saw locks the throttle and manages disc oscillation and load on its own; the RDS-20PN-SA manual saw runs the same 350/400 mm discs without adjustment.
- Ø350/400 mm cutting discs, Ø25.4 mm shaft
- Robust, high-temperature-resistant drive belt
FASTENING
PCM-2P Pandrol Clip Machine
Inserts or removes two Pandrol E-CLIP® fasteners simultaneously, powered by a Honda 4-stroke engine driving the hydraulic pump.
- PCM-2P/FC variant available for Pandrol FASTCLIP® fasteners
Overhead Catenary Solutions
Tools purpose-built for profiled contact wire — joining, cutting, straightening and aligning the wire that keeps trains powered.
RTGW
CONNECTING JOINTS
Attaches a new contact wire while simultaneously jointing it to the existing line — validated on lines up to 180 km/h.
B500ND-TFC
CUTTING TOOLS
Cordless hydraulic cutting tool for profiled contact wires, with a dedicated dies set for each wire section.
MSGW
STRENGTENING DEVICE
Mechanical straightening of profiled contact wire for the common 100, 120 and 150 mm² sizes, pole-mountable.
AD-GW
ALIGNMENT DEVICE
Speeds up applying full tension connectors to the contact wire and eliminates the snags that slow that work down.
Crimping & Cutting Tools
The same battery platform behind the track work range also runs Cembre’s general-purpose electrical tooling.
Battery Cutters & Crimping Tools
Cordless hydraulic crimping and cutting tools for cable and busbar work around the trackside and substation.
Portable Hydraulic Pumps
Electro-hydraulic pumps built on the same 36V battery platform as the LD-16B-RP, NR-25B, TW-18B and SD-36B track tools.
Connectors, Glands & Identification
Rounding out the catalogue: the connectors, cable management and labelling that keep the rest of the installation compliant and traceable.
Electrical Connectors & Cable Glands
Insulated terminals, cable lugs and cable glands for the electrical work around every installation.
Identification Solutions
Thermal transfer printers and consumables for durable, standards-compliant cable and panel labelling.
