The first use of the Scharfenberg coupler was for the Manila MRT Line 3 in 1999. Meanwhile, the first use of the Shibata coupler was for the LRT Line 2. In the future, Shibata couplers are also expected for use on the MRT Line 7, the Metro Manila Subway, and the North–South Commuter Railway (NSCR). The NSCR is so far the only PNR line that ...
Type F interlocking couplers on upcoming PNR narrow-gauge flatcars. [37] Type H tightlock coupling on most PNR rolling stock starting with the 900 class. Link and pin couplers on the Hawaiian Philippine Company of Negros Island. [38] Older Manila Railroad stock also use link and pin alongside English couplers. Scharfenberg couplers on the MRT ...
In South Africa, these couplers were used on only the narrow gauge lines in the Cape of Good Hope. [7] [10] [16] [17] The coupler is similar to the Norwegian coupler. It is a radial coupler with a coupler pocket which is open at the top of the coupling face.
The Scharfenberg coupler [1] (German: Scharfenbergkupplung, abbreviated Schaku) is a commonly used type of fully automatic railway coupling.. Designed in 1903 by Karl Scharfenberg in Königsberg, Germany (today Kaliningrad, Russia), the coupler has gradually spread from transit trains to regular passenger service trains, although outside Europe its use is generally restricted to mass transit ...
Narrow gauge flat wagons, 750 mm (2 ft 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in).Note the single buffer with a hook on the right side and a chain on the other. On some narrow-gauge lines in Europe, and on the Paris Metro, a simplified version of the loose-coupler is used, consisting of a single central buffer with a chain underneath.
A camlock, also called cam and groove, is a quick connect fluid transfer hose coupling that consists of a male "adapter" and female "coupler". The adapter has a groove on the outside that is engaged by the "cam arms" on the outside of the coupler to effect a seal against the gasket inside the "coupler". They are commonly used for petroleum or ...
In telecommunications, an acoustic coupler is an interface device for coupling electrical signals by acoustical means—usually into and out of a telephone. The link is achieved through converting electric signals from the phone line to sound and reconverting sound to electric signals needed for the end terminal, such as a teletypewriter, and ...
The SA3 coupler has been used in a train of 43,400 t (42,700 long tons; 47,800 short tons), thus either matching or surpassing the strength of the AAR coupler. Match wagons can overcome incompatibilities at the price of extra deadweight. Similarly with coupling adapters. The type of coupling is less important when trains travel in fixed block ...
