AAR-H Couplers

High Tensile Tight-Lock AAR 'H‘ Coupler Head with Balanced Draft Gear for Mainline Passenger Coaches

We are at the forefront of design and manufacturing of High Tensile Tight-Lock AAR ‘H‘ Coupler Head with Balanced Draft Gear for Mainline Passenger Coaches for the Indian Railways and confirm to the latest RDSO specifications.

Our team of talented in-house R&D experts along with strict quality controls and extensive testing make us the leader in supplying high quality Coupler Systems to the Indian Railways and in providing a safe and secure journey for the passengers.

The couplers are used to couple two adjacent coaches or a coach to alocomotive. When connected to the coupler of the next coach, the couplerallows the coaches to move, accommodate track curvature and buffer height changes while all the time remaining in coupled condition.

The AAR ‘H’ type coupler head is provided with aligning wings, located at either side of the coupler head. The wings are interlocked when coupled with the adjacent coupler. Interlocking prevents the vertical movement of the couplers with respect to each other. This feature ensures the ANTI CLIMBING of the coaches on each other in case of an accident.

Key Features

  • Sanrok couplers with AAR ‘H’ type head can be coupled with similar couplers of other makes as well as couplers with E type head
  • Provides full anti climbing feature by insuring positive interlocking of the couplers
  • The Draft Gear is based on the balanced forces, thus eliminating the jerky ride
  • No striking Plates in the Draft Gear ensures no undesirable sound during buffer, resulting in passenger comfort
  • The polymer spring pads, placed in series, ensure smooth buffing due to balance in forces
  • Absence of striking plates also reduces the loading pattern on the Front and Rear stopper as no impact loading is experienced
