========== Crowned Gear Coupling Used in WAP-5 Locomotives ==========
What is Crowned Gear Coupling ?
Ans: Crowned gear coupling is meant for the connection between the motor and the gear transmission. This dual cardanic-acting...

the motor to the transmission and can compensate for radial, axial and angular shaft shifting. The inner toothed coupling sleeves are mounted rigidly on the
motor and transmission shaft. The coupling is equipped with separate, closed lubricant chambers in each coupling half. When removing or installing the motor or transmission, the lubricant chamber remains closed, eliminating the possibility of the toothing becoming dirty. The sealing elements are each arranged on the side facing the motor or transmission.

Video Description: This is the exclusive video of the Coupling of 12301 Howrah Rajdhani with the Most Powerful Locomotive in Indian Railways, WAP-7 of GZB Shed. This was at Howrah Terminus at 16:30 Hrs on 14th October,2013 (This year's Dashami) & was my first travel by Howrah Rajdhani. With the Maximum speed of 130 Km/h along with the Wi-Fi Facility makes this train not only the 5th fastest train but also technologically advanced train in the Indian Railways
