摘要:
A railway wagon buffer comprising an impact plate (101) coupled via a movable spacer (110) with impact-absorbing means for absorbing the impact force imparted to the impact plate (101). The impact-absorbing means comprise a plurality of rotatable energy absorbers (120, 130, 140) arranged along the pathway (115) of the movable spacer (110) to engage with the movable spacer (110) during its movement along the pathway (115), each rotatable energy absorber (120, 130, 140) comprising a rotor (121, 131, 141 ) for absorbing in rotational movement at least part of the kinetic energy of the movable spacer (110).
