Safe, reliable, AAR-compliant coupler yokes

Type and description

The AAR (Association of American Railroads) compliant rail car coupler is a stabilizing device used to connect and hold cars between cars. This coupler yoke is usually made of high-strength steel to ensure it withstands the tension and impact forces between trains. It goes through strict quality control and testing to ensure its reliability and durability. The coupler yoke is designed to comply with the geometric parameters of the AAR standard, ensuring an exact fit with other vehicles’ shackles or couplers. It usually has a ring interface for the coupler and eye and is secured with bolts or pins. This structure ensures a stable connection and enables accurate transmission of force. AAR-compliant coupler yokes are also equipped with reliable safety devices such as locking devices or safety pins. These safety devices ensure that there will be no loosening or separation during the vehicle connection process, improving the stability and safety of the connection. This hooktail yoke is also rigorously tested and inspected to ensure it meets the requirements of AAR standards. Testing includes static load test, dynamic load test and fatigue test etc. to verify its performance and quality.

In conclusion, AAR-compliant railway car coupler yokes are made of high-strength materials, with accurate geometric parameters, reliable connections and safety devices. It ensures a stable connection between vehicles, contributing to the safety and smoothness of train operation.

our advantages
