Casting Material:

Material of type coupler body, knuckle and locks are AAR M-201 Grade C Steel per standard supplying condition, or AAR M-201 Grade E Steel which are casted by alloy steel and heated treated as quenching and tempering. Letter “C” or “E” will be casted on the product body indicates the material Grade.&

Variation of Type SASKOP Coupler

According to the wagon application, SASKOP coupler could be supplied as following types:

• SS Coupler

• MS coupler

• HS coupler

Variation of Type E/F Coupler

Like type “E” coupler and “F” coupler, according to wagon requirement, based on basic designed of “E” head and “F” shank, “E/F” couplers could have various compatible designs. Such as coupler head shelved, and extended the shank length, have been adopted in many applications.

Casting Material:

Material of type “E/F” coupler body, knuckle and locks are AAR M-201 Grade E Steel which are casted by alloy steel and heated treated as quenching and tempering. Letter “E” will be casted on the product body indicates the material Grade “E”. There also have the case required more strong material as AAR M-201 Grade E+. Using Grade E+ for coupler body and coupler knuckle will improve the coupler material tensile strength.

Interchangeability

All variation of type E/F coupler should be interchangeable, and have the No. 10-A contour at coupler mating lines. Coupler Contour should meet the requirement of AAR
S-106 specification same as type “E”.

Coupler Operating:

• Single Rotary Bottom Operation

• Double Rotary Bottom Operation

• Top Operation

Several features are added include followings:

• Less small contour slack and control of vertical interface movements reduced the wear of the coupler head surfaces, extending the knuckle service life. F coupler has only 3/8 inches of contour slack when linked by two new couplers, compared with the Type E and Type E/F as 25/32 inches, it will result in the improvement of the vertical dynamic mechanical performance of coupler, reduction of the vertical impact of two couplers and extension of the working life of wagon and its parts.

• Improved the performance of wagon when running at the curved rail track and automatic center alignment. Using the shank butt alignment shoulders assist in keeping the coupler centered and car aligned automatically under heavy duty load when running at the curved rail track.

• Vertical round pin connection and spherical butt end will make more convenient for assembly than the E coupler Cross Key structure, and also improve the running performance at curved rail track.

• More reliable lock lift mechanism: two types of anti-jumping function integrated in the lock lift will keep the coupler locked securely.

• Frontal interlocking mechanism at the coupler head can improve the coupling strength, and protect the knuckle and transmit the force to assist in dumping the wagon.

• Frontal bottom support shelf is preventing happen of disconnecting of coupler from falling to the railroad and thereby becoming a serious derailment accident.

Type of F Rotary Coupler

AAR standard FR209E type and Chinese Standard FCR16 type could be supplied.

Casting Material:

Material of type F rotary coupler body, knuckle and locks are AAR M-201 Grade E steel, which are casted by alloy steel and heated treated as quenching and tempering. Letter E will be casted on the product body indicates the material AAR Grade E. There also have the case required more strong material as AAR M-201 Grade E+. Using Grade E+ for coupler body and coupler knuckle will improve the coupler material tensile strength.

Interchangeability

Type “F” rotary coupler should be interchangeable with type F coupler. Production and specification should meet the requirement of AAR specification used for type F coupler.
