GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SMARTWAY range of point machine covers from wayside electromechanical to in tie
electromechanical (SMARTWAY MET) to embedded electrohydraulic point machine
(SMARTWAY SO). P80 is part of the wayside electromechanical range.
The mechanism (motor, clutch, electrical contacts and optional devices) is integrated and
sealed in a single housing without any internal adjustment needed. Point locking
mechanism can be specified by customers as embedded in the point machine or in the
turnout according to their requirements.

APPLICATION
The P80 is available in “trailable” and “non trailable” versions, ideal for rails weighing
65/60/50 Kg/m, with single switch and double-slip switch and for tangent up to 1:14.
The P80 is suitable for all types of lines: mainlines, metro lines, freight lines.
The P80 is available in back drive configuration and with external clamp lock.

TECHNICAL KEY FEATURES

> Functional

The P80 provides the main functions for a point machine (motorization, locking and controlling).

The trailability feature ensures that standard operating conditions may be programmed to be restored automatically after trailing
has occurred (no human action required).

To avoid extreme stress when the tongue encounters an excessively hard obstruction the clutch device disconnects the kinematic
chain motor-approach rod and cuts off the power supply to the motor. This device has lifetime settings (no maintenance needs).

> Configuration

P80 can manage either single-switch or double switch turnouts (with 4 separated detection rods)

P80 is available in right-hand and left-hand installation

All the versions can be operated manually by hand crank.

The standard configuration is trailable but the P80 can also be configured as non-trailable by installing an additional device.

Standard stroke is 150 mm, but strokes of 220 and 250 are also available

> Maintenance

The clutch-less system significantly reduces maintenance (a spring-loaded device ensures the clutch functions) and allows stability and
internal adjustment elimination.
