Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a buffer gear for rail vehicles comprising two telescopically nesting countersprung housing sections (buffer sleeve 1 and buffer ram 2) and in the sleeve buffer a pressure cylinder (3), supported at one end against a housing section, with a plunger (4) protruding from the other end of the pressure cylinder (3) and supported against the other housing section, which plunger at its end extending into the cylinder carries a plunger head (4b), the pressure cylinder (3) being filled with a compressible elastomer (20). The object of the invention is to design the buffer gear so that its energy absorption can be accurately gauged by simple means, the static characteristic of which is insensitive and durable even under extreme stresses by virtue of suitably designed components, which can be built into any existing buffer. This object is achieved in that the pressure cylinder (3) has two elastomer chambers (15) and (16) separated by a guide ring (17) containing apertures, the cross section of a first elastomer chamber (15) receiving the plunger head (4b) matching the plunger head (4b) with a predefined degree of play and the second elastomer chamber (16) having a larger diameter. |
