Reverser/nl: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:21, 18 March 2025

De rijrichting is een besturingsinrichting, meestal een hendel, die wordt gebruikt om de bewegingsrichting van een aangedreven spoorvoertuig in te stellen - Vooruit, Achteruit of Neutraal. De laatste scheidt meestal de wielen helemaal van de aandrijving af. “Achteruit” mag nooit worden bediend terwijl een voertuig vooruit in beweging is om catastrofale schade aan de aandrijving te voorkomen. Om dezelfde reden moeten de tractie/gashendel en de dynamische remmen meestal worden uitgeschakeld om de rijrichting om te keren.

Vehicles equipped with a reverser can run both forward and backward with equal capacity, and are even equipped with lights on both ends for this purpose. Depending on the vehicle design, the only difference when changing orientation can be the driving visibility, and cooling behavior .

Reversers should never be operated when vehicles are in motion, to avoid catastrophic damage to the powertrain . For the same reason, to operate the reverser, throttle and dynamic brakes need to be disengaged.

On steam engines , cutoff is the closest feature to a reverser, albeit with more functionality.
