Train Auto Coupler Mounting & Removal

Industry: Rail

Application: 

• Tightening & Un-tightening of nuts on auto-coupler mounting plate on high speed train

Problem:

• Difficult access to nuts on auto-coupler mounting plate
• Preventing damage to areas of the auto-coupler during bolting process

Solution:

• Pneumatic torque wrench with straight reaction tubes for tightening/un-tightening of each of the nuts (55 AF. 46 AF, 50 AF)

Features:

• Designed for use with C-RAD 27 (2,700 Nm) pneumatic torque wrench
• Straight reactions designed for tightening/un-tightening all four nuts on mounting plate
• Reaction tube(s) react on opposing nut to the one being tightened
• Easy release mechanism for safe removal
• Reaction plates are manufactured from high quality steel for strength & longevity

Benefits:

• Reaction load is applied on opposing nut to the one being  tightened, preventing reaction damage to pipe work greasing nipples
• Safe & accurate controlled bolting process
• C-RAD 27 pneumatic tooling speeds up the process and takes less manual effort than a manual multiplier
• Measured & accurate torque is applied, giving improved joint integrity
• Reduced noise outputs using C-RAD tooling instead of impact wrenches (removes the need for hearing protection)
• Low vibration - no risk to operators
