ICI has started manufacturing railway products in 1996 and has significant experience in this field. The most important products of ICI for railway industries are SA3 automatic coupler and draft gears / shock absorbers. A coupling (or a coupler) is a mechanism used to connect rolling stock in a train. The design of the coupler is standard, and is almost as important as the track gauge, since flexibility and convenience are maximized if all rolling stock can be coupled together. The SA3 coupler (also known as CA3 or CA-3 couplers) is a type of railway coupling used mainly, but not exclusively, in Russia, Iran and other C.I.S states of the former Soviet Union.
Coupling systems are complex assemblies and beside complete Couplings the couplings parts such as Lock Holder, Lock Lifter, Lifting Device, Brackets, Main Pin, Centered Beam, stop plate, Suspension Pin, Separator Lever and… are producing in ICI.
