Flex rails

The flex rail is the most important fischertechnik ball track component, because it is flexible in all directions. You can bend and twist it as you want. In constructing ball tracks you can therefore let your creativity run free. Thus, a curve quickly becomes a breathtaking looping or a rapid ski jump. The flex rail is available in lengths of 90 mm and 180 mm.

The high-speed flex rail, 180 mm long, with a raised side edge allows the ball to sweep at a breathtaking speed without flying out of orbit. So get started and build steep and creative curves and tracks! Thanks to the high-speed rail, this makes even more fun.

90°-curve

A rapid curve makes the ball track sections perfect. With the 90°-curve you can easily realize fast changes of direction and tight curves.

180°-curve

The 180 ° curve allows young designers to change the direction of the ball in a confined space. Serpentine-like routes guarantee the ultimate action fun.

Centrifugal funnel

At high speed, the balls enter the rotary funnel. As a result of the slow speed, the balls are swirled to the center of the funnel, where they pass through a hole and are guided to the next level of the rails.

Cross-over

On the cross-over, a lever is located in the center, which alternately guides the balls to the left and right flex rails. The cross-over can alternatively be used without a lever as a receptacle for falling or jumping balls.

Magnetic ball retainers

The magnetic ball holder is attached to a chain and transports the steel balls upwards, to the start of the ball track.

Sound tube

The balls are tearing down the track, and they have to handle some crazy stuff on the way down. The steel balls pass through the sound tube, adding a little extra melody to all the fun. You can practically hear their speed.

Trampoline

With the trampoline the balls can fly spectacularly through the air.

Flex-tube

The flex-tubes give you new, fast-paced tracks where the balls race through the cool tunnel.

Learn to play

But that is not all: Physical processes of the dynamics are explained in the large fischertechnik kits in an interactive manner. Various physical effects, e.g. acceleration or mass inertia, are presented in an e-learning portal by various experiments and explained in detail.
