Function
The Safeset is positioned in the drive line between traction motor and universal joint shaft. It releases instantly in the case of overload and prevents thereby catastrophic failure, which could endanger people's lives.
Advantages/Benefits
- Enhance passenger safety
- Minimize consequential damage in the event of failure of a drive component
- Protect all drive components in the event of impermissibly high torque
- Increase availability of the rail vehicle
Torque-limiting Safeset safety couplings have been incorporated into drives for rail vehicles for decades.
