Brakes, Couplers and Draw Gear
Barnett Engineering-Cryogenic Brakes to Reduce Wear | ||
 Cryogenic processing of internal combustion engine parts. |
 Cryogenic processing of AC and DC motors means more horsepower |
 Cryogenic processing of brakes and rotors increases life expectancy by 400%. |
 Electric motors last longer, run cooler, and are more efficient after our process. |
 High speed parts do not deform, or prematurely fail, when treated before service. |

 TF-880, SL-76 and Crown SE™ draft gears. Miner's draft gears ensure excellent rail wagon protection. |
 TCC-III and TCC-IV constant contact side bearings. These rail contact bearings provide exceptional hunting resistance, rotational resistance and energy absorption. |
 Miner Series 2000 Brake Beam - provides substantially increased resistance to wagon and truck impacts. |
|
OLEO International-Hydraulic Energy Absorbers | ||
 Impact tests on buffer capsules are carried out on the company’s TITAN test rig to verify dynamic design predictions for new products and applications. |
 The OLEO buffer possesses the unique ability to change its characteristics according to operational needs, thus minimising impact forces. This feature is achieved by the innovative contoured metering pin design. |
 OLEO capsules protect passengers and rolling stock as well as improving ride comfort. Testing by OLEO and independent railway authorities have proved the capsule’s effectiveness in a crash situation. |
 OLEO long stroke buffers, fitted directly to the platform or on steel end stops, offer exceptional protection to passengers and rolling stock against both low and high speed impacts. |
 Without anti-climbers one vehicle will over-ride another in a serious accident. OLEO anti-climber contact faces lock together to minimise over-ride, supporting up to 50% of a fully laden vehicle. |
