This is marvelous, much better than getting between waggons and coupling or uncoupling. A much safer way.

@EMDFAST 6 ай бұрын

dangerous system, exposing the operator to an accident due to entrapment, the operator has to enter between the two cars to pull the decoupling lever,

Better than chain and buffer coupling

Bei dieser Kupplung handelt es sich ja um die Scharfenbergkupplung,ist diese jetzt von der maximalen Zug und Druckbelastung stabiler geworden als die Schraubenkupplung? vorher wurde sie nur an Schnellzügen und S-Bahnen und Triebwagen verwendet,war aber nicht für die hohen Belastungen im Güterverkehr geeignet

@georgk4207 Жыл бұрын

Wir sind seit50 Jahre am Testen und sie war auch einbaureif. Aber der Grenzüberschreitende Verkehr war durch die Anderen EU Bahnen und EU Länder blockiert worden. Sie sollte mit einer Daten Leitung auch bei Güterwagen versehen sein. Soweit war die Ausarbeitung in Minden versuchs werk.

A scharfenberg coupler? Those have existed for ages now. Either way it's great to finally have a standard coupler.

Wieso muss da noch jemand ziehen um die Kupplung zu lösen? Ist das nur für den Probebetrieb oder geht das so auch in Serie? Wäre ja echt ziemlich blöd wenn dann doch immer noch jemand die Waggons manuell trennen muss

Güterwagen haben keinen Strom den müsste man dann auch noch in allen Wägen nachrüsten Im Gegensatz zu den Schraubkupplungen ist das ein Quantensprung Gekuppelt mit Federkraft entkuppelt händisch Noch ein Vorteil ist das höhere Gewichte pro Zug möglich sind

@martlbue8099 2 жыл бұрын

Strom wäre super. Wie ist das dann bei den Abrollbergen? Kann man die Waggons mit der DAC dann auch entkoppelt schieben?

@holgerkollmus3515 2 жыл бұрын

Sehr guter Gedanke 👍Evtl kann man entkoppelt schieben Zum Abrollen muss ja auch die Bremse gelöst sein So ganz ohne Personal wird es nicht gehen

we have been using autocoupling since 1873, A National Model 21SB-E60DE (Type E) sells for about $300; a Model 21F70CE (Type F) for about $400

Knuckle couplers do connect automatically but crews still have to get between the cars to lace up the air hoses and open the angle cock.

@@Mike-jv8bv yeah and all you have to do to hook these up is back the cars into each other. Knuckle couplers are great but if you're going to go to the trouble of replacing buffers and chain why not replace it with something that doesn't require any bending at all.

@unaizilla 5 ай бұрын

the knuckle coupler is only semi-automatic and they generate a lot of slack, specially on long trains

Erreur pour moi d'avoir sélectionné le scharf, car il est pas voir très peux reparti sur le plateaux européen. Tandis que le SA3 est beaucoup plus présent surtout dans les pays de l'ex union soviétique, et en superficie d'opération et présence. Alors que le scharf n'est monté seulement sur le parc spécialisé, et en plus de cela, seulement en extrémité. Et sur certain EM entre les voitures du parc spécialisé, des attelage a vis (manuel). Le projet de MIIRA par CAF était bien plus prometteurs.

Why not just use a knucle coupler like north america or an SA coupler like Russia? Both already exist and have proven themselves

@ZILOGz80VIDEOS Жыл бұрын

knuckle couplers only join the cars together, crews still have to lace up the air hoses and get between the cars to do it. Look up videos on coupling and uncoupling cars, there's a ton of careful ergonomics to properly disconnecting the air hoses and angle cocks to do it safely and quickly. This eliminates that with one simple motion that can be performed without having to get any part of your body near the rails.

@rearspeaker6364 Жыл бұрын

@@ZILOGz80VIDEOS t is an improvement......but, if the coupling is on a curve, you will be manhandling the coupling to get it to couple, and still have to reach for an angle cock to open, plus if uncoupling the release lever is on the coupler itself.

У нас в России эту автосцепку всерьез не восприняли по понятным причинам. На грузовых останется СА-3, а пассажирские переведут на БСУ-3. А Шарф изначально создаст головные боли на грузовом движении
