Link and Pin Coupler
A Link and Pin Coupler is a type of mechanical coupling used primarily in rail transport. It connects two railway cars or locomotives, allowing them to move together as a single unit. The design consists of a link that is attached to one car and a pin that fits into a slot on the other car, providing a secure connection.
This coupling system is known for its simplicity and effectiveness, making it easy to connect and disconnect cars quickly. It is commonly used in older railway systems and is an essential component in the operation of trains, ensuring safe and reliable transportation of goods and passengers.
