VAKO-A.R.T. is the exclusive distributor for Pandrol Antivibration Solutions in the DACH region.
The Pandrol Bonded Baseplates effectively reduce corrugation, noise and vibration caused by the high dynamic forces of passing trains.
This versatile fastening system is suitable for slab track, concrete sleepers, steel bridges, ballasted tracks, turnouts and crossings.
Each unit consists of two independently working cast baseplates, permanently bonded with vulcanised rubber to create a single, high-performance element.
The result: excellent vertical and lateral stiffness, superior electrical insulation and long-term reliability – all in one system.
Bonded Baseplates provide a durable, high-performing and easy-to-install solution, ideal for new track construction, modernisation projects and sections with increased vibration demands.
Key Benefits
- High corrosion resistance
The bonded rubber coating protects against environmental effects and significantly extends product life. - Effective vibration damping
Reduces vibrations and structure-borne noise through low stiffness – ensuring quieter and smoother rail operation. - Electrical safety
Provides a high level of stray current protection and maintains electrical integrity even in case of bond fatigue. - Easy installation
Quick and tool-efficient installation – a one-person system combining flexibility with reduced rail stress.
VAKO-A.R.T. – Quiet. Strong. Reliable.
Pandrol ADH System (Bonded DFF)
Flexibility Meets Precision
The Pandrol ADH System, also known as the Bonded DFF, represents the next generation of bonded baseplate technology.
It combines exceptional vibration isolation, electrical insulation, and versatile fastening options in one robust, modular system – ideal for new construction, track renewal, and retrofit projects.
The system’s factory-bonded combination of cast plate and elastomer ensures a durable, low-maintenance solution, suitable for slab track, steel bridges, and turnout or crossing zones.
Key Benefits
- Variable baseplate options
Choose between two- or four-hole configurations, offset or in-line, to perfectly match project geometry and installation requirements. - Flexible rail fastening
Compatible with a wide range of fastening systems – including eClip, SD, SLK, NABLA, and FE – ensuring full adaptability to different rail profiles and standards. - Superior electrical insulation
The unique bonding process provides exceptionally high electrical resistance and long leakage paths – several times higher than the minimum required by EN standards. - Turnout and crossing adaptability
Available in multiple lengths and configurations, ideal for use in turnouts, steel bridges, and ballasted track environments. - Optimised track–structure interaction
Featuring low toe load clips and Zero Longitudinal Restraint (ZLR) configurations, making it the perfect choice for bridges and viaducts, where controlled flexibility is critical.
Pandrol ADH System – Flexible. Durable. Precise.
Pandrol Vanguard Common Interface (CI)
Future-Proof Flexibility for Slab Track
The Pandrol Vanguard Common Interface (CI) fastening system brings a new level of adaptability and futureproofing to modern slab track construction.
As part of the Pandrol Common Interface range, it allows multiple fastening assemblies – including FCA, DFC, and Vanguard – to be installed on a single, universal base.
This means that when noise or vibration requirements change, there is no need to replace or modify the entire track.
The fastening system can simply be swapped out – providing a cost-efficient, sustainable, and technically elegant solution for evolving rail infrastructure needs.
Like the standard Vanguard system, the CI version delivers very low vertical stiffness, exceptional vibration isolation, and extensive adjustability – ideal for urban, high-speed, and tunnel applications.
Vertical and lateral adjustments can be achieved with minimal tools and effort, enabling quick and precise correction for track settlement, heave, or gauge.
Key Features
- Common Interface Compatibility
Fully interchangeable on Pandrol’s Common Interface with FCA and DFC fastening systems – offering different stiffness levels without altering the substrate. - Vertical and Lateral Adjustment
Height corrections up to 53 mm in 1 mm increments and gauge adjustment up to 16 mm (8 mm per rail seat) ensure maximum precision in track alignment. - Indirect Rail Holding
The rail holding mechanism operates independently of the concrete base, reducing stress and improving long-term durability. - Low-Maintenance Design
Engineered as a “fit and forget” system – minimal tools, minimal upkeep, and maximum reliability. - Proven Engineering
Based on Pandrol’s globally trusted Fastclip technology, with long-established materials and low clamping force variants available. - Environmentally Responsible
Manufactured from recyclable materials, ensuring sustainability across the entire product lifecycle.
Pandrol Vanguard CI – Adaptive. Efficient. Sustainable.
