Railway Pantograph

grabcad

This pantograph model is specifically designed for electric traction railway applications that draw power from overhead high-tension wires. The assembly file comes with a parts folder which can be referenced upon opening it. While motion study isn't included initially, you can add it to the assembly later on. Interestingly, the springs are only present in the renderings but not in the actual assembly, making it easier for animation. Additionally, there is a conceptual drawing provided for mechanism studies. Please note that this model is theoretical and shapes and dimensions might differ from real-life pantographs. The design adheres to Indian railway standards (in terms of shape, not size).
