Balanced Draft Gear for AAR-H Coupler

The Balanced Draft Gear is an enhanced design which consists of 2 separate packs of elastomeric pads for buff and draw modes and aims to provide jerk free and smooth train operations.

The Balanced Draft gear arrangement can absorb energy of 35 kJ (minimum) under dynamic force application of 1600 kN (maximum force generated during the train dynamics). The elastomeric pads arrangement offers high damping factor, greater than 60% which helps smooth & vibration free movement of trains at high speeds.
