Coupling element for railway wagons has vertical connection bolt in cube-shaped link block with circular cylindrical convex surfaces for straight displacement

摘要

The coupling has a vertical connection bolt (5) held turnable in a bearing part in a first housing (1), with its ends in a forked second housing (7). The bearing part is held pivoted in a housing aperture (2), and is an approx. cube-shaped link block (3). This has circular cylindrical convex surfaces for straight displacement, while the longitudinal cylinder sides in the housing aperture, at right angles to the direction of travel. The right and left end faces have damper elements to absorb transverse impacts. The link block is guided in cover battens, which are formed as wearing parts. All moveable parts are protected by seals.
