Buffer for Passenger Trains and Freight Wagons In co-operation with SMW Spezialmaschinen, Voith Turbo Scharfenberg has developed two types of ready-to-use crash buffers: VSSM-105-400 for freight and tank wagons as well as locomotives and VSSM-110-170 for passenger trains. The buffers are TSI conform and meet all safety requirements. This means additional safety and comfort without any adaptations. Their compact design and standardised interfaces allow the buffers to be replaced very quickly and also make them suitable for retrofit applications. More Safety for Freight Wagons This crash buffer has a reversible stroke of 105 mm and an energy absorption of minimum 400 kJ. A combination of a spring and an energy absorption element, these TSI conform buffers meet all the requirements according to UIC 573 (crashworthiness), DIN EN 15551 and UIC 526 (cat. A). They offer increased impact protection and safety, even for the transport of hazardous goods. In case of an impact, there will be no intrusion into the vehicle underframe. VSSM-105-400 for Freight Wagons 30 Comfort and Safety for Passenger Trains This crash buffer also combines reversible and irreversible energy absorption. In compliance with the technical specification for the interoperability of locomotives and passenger rolling stock (TSI CR LOC+PAS) it features a reversible stroke of 100 mm and an energy absorption of minimum 170 kJ. Down to -40 °C it meets the highest demands concerning safety and travelling comfort. In combination with SA3 couplers, the two-stage spring concept even allows cross-border operations. VSSM-110-170 for Passenger Trains Crash Elements and Crash Boxes Should further energy absorption be required, Voith Turbo Scharfenberg provides tailor-made solutions. These can be specifically designed according to their application and requirement profile and thus offer the best possible protection for both passengers and train. Crash Elements for UIC Side Buffers Crash elements for locomotives are mounted between the lateral UIC buffers and the locomotive car body. They are equipped with proven and tested deformation tubes. Their standard UIC flange allows all kinds of side buffers to be connected. In case of a crash, the UIC flanges can completely slide into the deformation tubes. 1 Crash Elements for UIC Side Buffers. 1 Crash Boxes The collapsible crash boxes are made of steel plate and situated in the train front end behind the coupler level. In case of a crash exceeding the coupler’s energy absorption capacity, the remaining energy is transferred to the crash boxes and converted into deformation energy. Lateral anti-climbers provide additional safety. Crash Boxes Mounted on a Cross Beam Behind the Coupler 31
