Railway applications - Automatic coupler - Performance requirements, specific interface geometry and test method
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the automatic couplers for railway applications.*It defines the minimum interface requirements in order to allow automatic coupling (mechanical and pneumatic) of two 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.*This European Standard defines the reference interfaces for rescue coupling of trains.*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.*For the purpose of this European Standard, this type of coupler is named Type 10 coupler.*NOTE The name Type 10 originates from Scharfenberg system Type 10 automatic coupler ).
