High-speed railway switch device for moving railroad switch points

A method of articulating railroad switch points, comprising:

• in a railroad switch machine, powering an electric motor to articulate a hydraulic pump and thus increase a pressure of a hydraulic fluid to define a high-pressure hydraulic fluid state;
• the hydraulic fluid in fluid communication with a hydraulic manifold fluidly coupled to the hydraulic pump via a pressure pipe and a return pipe;
• the hydraulic fluid also in fluid communication with a hydraulic double-rod cylinder, the hydraulic double-rod cylinder having a railroad switch point rod that is disposed therein and adapted to articulate in a forward movement to a first position and a reverse movement to a second position;
• articulating the railroad switch point rod of the hydraulic double-rod cylinder to the first position by initiating the electric motor to change the hydraulic fluid into the high-pressure hydraulic fluid state;
• and
• articulating a spring unit coupled to the railroad switch point rod that is adapted to secure the railroad switch point rod position in the first position, the spring unit producing a continuous thrust force for holding the railroad switch points closed in the first position and the second position;
• wherein the railroad switch machine includes a top rod bracket, a center bracket, and a cam follower bearing, wherein the cam follower bearing installed under the top rod bracket runs inside a centering bracket roller tray to avoid the rod rotation caused by external forces.
