Disclosed is a front installed suspension system having overload protection. The system comprises a mounting seat (1), a centring apparatus (2), a support apparatus (3) used for supporting a coupling buffer and a coupling end pin (4), wherein the mounting seat (1) is connected to a railway vehicle body, and the centring apparatus (2) and the support apparatus (3) are both installed on the mounting seat (1). The system further has a coupling connection seat (5) and an overload protection element (6), wherein the coupling connection seat (5) comprises a base and a coupling connection part connected as one with the base. The base is connected to a rear face of the mounting seat (1) by means of the overload protection element (6). The coupling connection part passes through a through hole (7) provided in the middle of the mounting seat (1) and is connected with the coupling buffer by means of the coupling end pin (4). The coupling connection part is closely fitted with the through hole (7). The front installed suspension system has a simple structure and is lightweight.

A railcar coupler includes a coupler head portion extending from a shank portion. The coupler head portion is configured to couple to a first coupler knuckle for coupling the railcar coupler to a second railcar coupler of an adjacent railcar. The coupler head portion comprises a nose portion and a gathering face extending from the nose portion for engaging a second coupler knuckle coupled to the second railcar coupler. The coupler head portion comprises a guard arm portion extending from the nose portion towards the shank portion. The coupler head portion comprises a horn portion having a back surface. A distance between the back surface of the horn portion and a nose end of the guard arm portion is less than 11 inches. The coupler head portion comprises a locklifter shelf less than 2 inches above a bottom edge of the coupler.

A railway car coupler head contour gauge (60) includes a cylindrical portion (70) configured to be rotatably coupled to a coupler head. The railway car coupler head contour gauge also includes a pulling lug gauging portion, and a contoured gauging surface (68) that is configured to align with a contour face of a top pulling lug (30) of the coupler head during gauging. The coupler head contour gauge may also include a convex portion (65) configured to align with a buffing shoulder (22) of the coupler head.

A method for manufacturing a railcar coupler knuckle includes providing a first mold section having internal walls defining at least in part perimeter boundaries of a first coupler knuckle mold cavity. The method includes providing a second mold section having internal walls defining at least in part perimeter boundaries of a second coupler knuckle mold cavity. The second coupler mold cavity of the second mold section is offset from the first coupler mold cavity of the first mold section. The method includes closing the first and second mold sections and at least partially filling the first and second coupler knuckle mold cavities with a molten alloy, the molten alloy solidifying after filling to form the coupler knuckle.
摘要:
A Type E railway freight car coupler having an expanded gathering range is achieved by attaching or forming an extension wing (30) extending diagonally outward from an outer end of the gathering arm (16) to thereby provide an extension to the angled gathering surface (18). The extension wing (30) can either be cast as one piece directly with the coupler, or cast separately and welded onto the coupler.
摘要:
A rotary railway coupler (10) is provided having compound fillets (94, 96) of variable increasing radii of curvature inserted between the shank (84) and the butt end (54) of the coupler (10). The compound fillets (94, 96) reduce the stress concentration between the shank (84) and the butt end (54) of the coupler (10) by distributing the stress over a greater curved surface area in order to decrease the possibility of fatigue cracking and failure at the transition surface between the coupler shank (84) and butt end (54). The compound fillet (94, 96) may also be arranged to undercut the surfaces (78, 80, 86, 88) of the coupler shank (84) and butt end (54) in order to reduce metal build-up at this location.
