Tensioning device
TracFeed® NSV
Every contact line is constantly tensioned

If the catenary wire and contact wire expand or contract due to temperature, TracFeed® NSV maintains the desired tensioning force. No overstretching, no sagging, no problem! Available in three different versions, our tensioning device is perfectly equipped for every requirement and installation situation.
