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 fout 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 to 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

Other information:

  • Fixed or adjustable reaction versions available
