The ABeh 160 are electric articulated railcars of the Zentralbahn for mixed adhesion and gear operation. They were developed by Stadler Rail designed and built as Fink ( F left i nnovative N iederflur K omposition), respectively.

history

The trains were ordered together with the ABeh 150 Adler in 2009. They are intended for traffic on the Lucerne S-Bahn and as a reinforcement and replacement for the ABeh 150 in interregional traffic between Lucerne and Interlaken. They have been in use since 2012 and will gradually replace the previous locomotive-operated trains by 2013.

Constructive features

Gear drive with eccentric height adjustment with wheelset shaft (dark red), hollow shaft (red), bearing (blue) and drive gear (black)

The trains are in three parts. They are coupled with the seven-part ZB ABeh 150 and can be controlled multiple times. Two out of three entrances on each side are in the low-floor area. In contrast to the ABe 130 , the intermediate cars also have entrance doors. The cars are air-conditioned. They have large panoramic windows, there are bike and ski racks and wheelchair spaces. The adhesion and gear drive are spatially separated, mechanically decoupled and therefore slip-free. The end bogies are the adhesion drive bogies, the adhesion drives also run on the rack sections and provide about a third of the drive power there. The middle car body runs on the gear drive bogies, each with two running axles. The inner ones carry the gear drive.

A newly developed gear drive with eccentric height adjustment is used in the ABeh 150 , the construction of which corresponds to a conventional gear drive with pawl bearing , as is known from pure gear vehicles. The drive or brake gears are not supported directly on the wheelset shaft , but on an additionally inserted, non-rotating hollow shaft that is connected to the wheelset shaft via eccentric disks. By turning the eccentric disks, the meshing of the teeth can be easily adapted to the wheel wear in seven steps of 5 mm each, which enables a wheel wear of 35 instead of 12 mm.

The car bodies and the adhesion drive of the ABeh 160 and ABeh 150 served as a model for the western Swiss meter gauge trains from Stadler. The box structure and numerous other components were also adopted by Fink and Adler in the construction of the ABDeh 8/8 for the Berner Oberland-Bahnen .

Replica series

To replace the additional modules in the S-Bahn trains, Zentralbahn ordered five additional vehicles in September 2014. The new multiple units differ only slightly from the first series of Fink cogwheel trains. Improvements have been made to gear bogies, for example, in order to reduce premature wear and tear and to increase service life: the wheels are now slightly larger and have bandages. The multiple units that have been reordered are designated as ABeh 161.

In December 2019, Zentralbahn ordered seven more vehicles to expand the vehicle fleet. They should be delivered from the end of 2022 and will be given the designation ABeh 162 021-027.
