Railway applications - Automatic coupler - Performance requirements, specific interface geometry and test method

EN 16019 specifies the requirements for Type 10 automatic couplers for railway applications. It defines the minimum interface requirements in order to allow automatic coupling (mechanical and pneumatic) of two Type 10 automatic couplers. The interfaces of the end coupler specified in this European Standard: - enable the rescue of a train set in an event of a breakdown by another trainset of different type, without the need to use an intermediate coupler adapter, accessories or component; - are the reference interfaces to which the rescue coupler defined by EN 15020 will comply. It does not define: - interface requirements concerning electrical connections; - clearance requirements around the coupler head; - the height above top of rail for the coupler; - the position of the pivot point of the coupler.

The interfaces of the end coupler specified in this European Standard: — enable the rescue of a train set in an event of a breakdown by another trainset of different type, without the need to use an intermediate coupler adapter, accessories or component; — are the reference interfaces to which the rescue coupler defined by EN 15020 will comply.

The coupler lock consists of the following parts: hook plate, coupling link, central pin, tension springs, release bar holder, and release bar with trigger device. In order to ensure a maximum gathering range, both vertically and horizontally, the coupler head shall be provided with male cone, female cone and gathering horn, such that the couplers can be aligned and centred also in curves and in case of vertical mismatch. The coupler head dimensions shall be according to Annex A. Tolerances for dimensions shall be according to ISO 2768, tolerance class mK, unless otherwise specified in this standard. The principle arrangement of a coupler head is shown in Figure 1. Alternatives to this principle arrangement are allowed as long as functional and interface compatibility are maintained and the clauses of this standard remain applicable. SIST EN 16019:2014

Figure 1 — Principle arrangement of coupler head When coupled, the coupler lock elements are subjected to tensile load and form a parallelogram ensuring equilibrium of forces and an equal load distribution onto both coupling links. The equilibrium of forces prevents involuntary unlocking of the coupler locks and reduces wear. Compressive loads are transmitted through the flat coupler faces of the coupler heads. The automatic coupler head shall be designed to withstand the following forces without permanent deformation: — tensile load = 1 000 kN; — compressive load = 1 500 kN. These values are for normal operating conditions. If the coupler is used only for rescue conditions, lower values are allowed; these loads are defined in EN 15020. SIST EN 16019:2014



EN 16019:2014 (E) 8 When coupled, the coupler locks ensure a nearly slack-free connection between the automatic couplers. Coupler lock play is evidenced by a distance between the coupler faces of two coupled coupler heads. An example of how to measure coupler lock play of a single coupler is shown in Annex C. Coupler lock play of a single coupler shall not exceed 0,8 mm in the new condition. 4.2 Coupling system positions 4.2.1 General The state of coupling shall be made visible e.g. by contrasting coloured release bar or any other solution. 4.2.2 Ready-to-couple position In the ready-to-couple position, the coupling link shall be retracted and lie close to the edge of the male cone and the release bar shall hold the hook plate. In this position, where the tension springs are loaded, the release bar shall project over the side of the coupler head housing and shall be engaged with the catch of the trigger device. See Figure 2.
Figure 2 — Ready-to-couple position 4.2.3 Coupled position As the coupler faces mate, the male cones entering the female cones shall press the triggers backwards, in order for the release bars to be released. The release bar shall be retracted in the coupler head housings when they engage with the trigger devices. After the release
