Bo-Witt Products proudly serves many transit authorities with the insulators they require to keep their OCS systems operating smoothly.
Bo-Witt utilizes the latest in Thermoset Composite material technology and leans upon its more that 40 years worth of experience in traction motor insulator manufacturing to provide world class insulators.
Additionally, Bo-Witt serves as a custom molder for car builders on specialized insulators and interior components. Thermosets are an excellent choice for interior applications due to their inherent ability to pass flame, smoke, and toxicity standards.
Thermosets are a good choice for the transit industry because:
- Electrical Insulators with UV stability
- They have become an industry standard for OCS insulators
- Corrosion resistance and vibration dampening characteristics
- Qualify for a potential metal replacement
- Dent resistance and impact strength for add durability and ruggedness
- Strength to weight ratio better than steel
- Allows for the reduction of weight without losing strength
- Low smoke generation and ability to pass demanding flame, smoke, and toxicity requirements
Why Bo-Witt is your best choice for Thermoset Composites and Insulators:
- Deep understanding of insulators used in both traction motors and OCS arrangements for critical service parts
- Our ability to sustain availability and fabrication obsolete components
- Diverse material portfolio material selection assistance and optimization
- Design services with solid modeling capabilities for product and process design
- Proven track record to serve major OEMs such as GE and Eaton as well as various transit authorities including TTC and SEPTA
