DESIGN AND PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF SPECIAL FRICTION CLUTCH INSIDE INNOVATIVE REDUCERS OF RAILROAD SWITCHES

The article discusses the development of innovative technologies aimed at increasing the speed, efficiency, productivity and safety of railway transport systems based on ensuring modern requirements for dimensions, the number of components and the reliability of manufactured switch devices. The design of a special three-disk friction clutch is designed, which is placed between the gears of a double-crown gear block of the second stage of a package innovative reducer intended for mechanical transmission systems of railroad switch devices, based on their design and functional features. The design of the friction clutch is quite compact, provides for a decrease in the dimensions and weight of the entire transmission mechanism, an increase in its reliability and technical indicators, and protection of the system from overloads. Considering the advantages and technical level of the reducer kit, with a specially designed friction clutch, it is recommended for use on switch drives of the "СП" brand in the railway transport systems of the CIS countries.
