Tongue Rolling System BWG-S
IBaV-System Brandenburg and Tongue Rolling
Device System Schwihag – is the unification of
two systems that have individually withstood the
test of time for a multitude of requirements and
long-term strain.
The Tongue Rolling System BWG-S delivers on
our customers’ preference for modular turnout
systems.
The Tongue Rolling System BWG-S equally
embraces the demand for improved environmental protection and reduced maintenance
effort. Our modern turnout technology optimizes
the service life of turnouts.
Design and Function
of the Tongue Rolling System BWG-S
The Schwihag tongue rolling device, integrated
into the base plate, is a component of the Inner
Stock Rail Fastening – System Brandenburg.
The separate slide chair comprises the tongue
rolling device.

In a rigid ribbed base plate bearing, the tongue
rolling device is bolted to the roller socket
integrated into the base plate. In elastic
bearings, the roller socket is vulcanized into
the base plate in upright position on the sleeper
surface and is hence decoupled from the motion
of the ribbed base plates.
Horizontally, the tongue rolling system can
be fastened in different positions. It is then
continuously adjustable against the tongue rail.
Vertically, each tongue roller is continuously
adjustable from –0.5 mm to +6.5 mm.

Application of the Tongue Rolling System BWG-S
If the Tongue Rolling System BWG-S is applied,
the slide chairs do not need to be lubricated.
The Tongue Rolling System BWG-S is suitable
for any turnout, and is available for virtually
any rail profile.
The Tongue Rolling System BWG-S is optimized
for the different spring stiffness levels of the
ribbed base plate supports (rigid and elastic).
The Tongue Rolling System BWG-S combined
with coated and therefore less rust-prone
slide chair plates, allows the installation of a
low-maintenance turnout with a long service life.
