COUPLINGS; DRAUGHT AND BUFFING APPLIANCES (vehicle connections in general B60D)

Description

B61G covers mechanical couplings and shock-absorbing devices specifically designed for joining and cushioning impacts between railway vehicles and train sets. This includes coupler heads, drawbars, buffer systems, and associated hardware that facilitate train formation while mitigating longitudinal forces during acceleration, braking, and coupling operations. The classification extends to both automatic and manual coupling mechanisms as well as the structural components that transmit draft and buffering forces between adjacent vehicles.
