COUPLERS
AAR-H Tyoe Coupler For Locmotives
- GM/EMD LOCO COUPLER
- ALCO LOCO COUPLER
Escorts made Loco couplers have been designed with single pin clevis which provides compatibility with both Centre Buffer Couplers and Hook type Couplers. They are designed for a tensile load capacity of up to 400 tons. Hence capable of hauling a rake of 26 coaches.
SALIENT FEATURES
- Compatible with H and E type Couplers
- Ensure Coupling even at low coupling speed of 3-5 kmph
- Increased safety due to vertical interlocking provided between the couplers
- Improved vertical support for maintaining the desired height of coupler from the rail level
Semi permanent - EMU's/MEMU's
Provides safe and permanent connection of multiple units. Connection between the couplers is ensured by Adjustable Cup Sleeves, with screw type arrangement.
SALIENT FEATURES
- Prevents overriding of coaches
- Draw and buff gear absorbs 8 kJ
- Rigid and slack free connection
- Jerk-free start and braking during acceleration and deceleration
- Provides the automatic pneumatic connection for BP & FP lines
Semi Permanent COUPLER
APPLICATIONS
- EMU, MEMU and DEMU
- Any other suburban/mass rapid transport system
MAJOR COMPONENTS
- Indian Railways
- MRVC
Centre buffer coupler - Vande Bharat
This is a jerk - free high tensile center buffer coupler (CBC) with a semi-permanent head and balanced type draft gear. Coupler design also meets the interchangeability requirement from semi-permanent type head to AAR-H type head to facilitate coupling with E or H type couplers. The coupler is ideal for high speed trains above 160 kmph, such as Train-18.
SALIENT FEATURES
- Lightweight and robust design
- Jerk free coupler • Horizontal articulation (±10°) and Vertical articulation (±4°)
- Gathering coupling range (AAR-H Type head) ±90 mm Horizontal gathering ±110 mm Vertical gathering
- Coupling Speed of 3–5 kmph
- Balanced Draft Gear Complies with UIC 526, EN 15551 standards
- Tensile Strength of 1500 kN
- Compression Strength of 2000 kN
- Bending Strength of 500 kN
- Energy Absorption 20-35 kJ
Semi Automatic - Metros (content is just placeholder)
Provides safe and permanent connection of multiple units. Connection between the couplers is ensured by Adjustable Cup Sleeves, with screw type arrangement.
