	Air Hose Hanger Consisting of a five-piece forged and welded unit, the air hose hanger incorporates a ball and socket design that enables the integral 60-degree hose fitting to swing in any direction. Since hose and fittings can move with the coupler, hose kinking, tracking and breaking are reduced. A welding plate attaches completed assemblies to the car. The unit includes a 1 1/4 inch, 60-degree angle fitting for application to cars with long shank couplers and/or sliding center sills. Hangers come in various lengths.

	Brake Rod Cylinder Push Pins Schaefer brake cylinder push pins are forged from C-1040/1045 special bar quality steel for lightweight and high strength, especially in the jaw area, where reduced weight provides better wear and longer service life. Brake rods exceed AAR requirements.
	Brake Rod Eyes Arc-weld brake rod eyes are easy to apply and are used for application on new equipment, maintenance, or repairs. Arc-weld eyes, forged from C-1020 steel, are for application to brake rods from 3/4 to 1 3/8 inch diameter.
	Brake Rod Jaws Arc-weld brake rod jaws suited for use on new equipment or in repair or maintenance applications, are easy to apply and can be used in any shop or repair track that has arc-welding equipment. The arc-weld socket assures correct alignment of the jaw with the brake rod without using special jigs or fixtures. Jaws are forged from C-1020 steel and are for application to 3/4 through 1 3/8 inch diameter brake rods.
	Brake Rod Splice Allows for easy field replacement of worn, broken or bent brake rods Schaefer type features one piece design, simply wrap the splice around the repair joint and weld - Available in 3/4"-7/8" rods and 1" - 1 1/8" rods Two Zeftek ZT-368 splices are welded together to join the existing brake rod and new brake rod section to restore rod integrity - Use on 3/4" and 7/8" brake rod diameters Available as complete assembly or individually
	Corner Caps Forged corner caps are designed to reinforce the corner structures of gondola and open-top hopper cars. Offered in bolted or welded versions, they feature strength, are lightweight and easy to install. Welded corner caps are manufactured from C-1020 steel to facilitate welding. Bolted caps are forged from C-1040/1045 steel for added strength.
	Coupler Carrier Wear Plates Coupler carrier wear plates come in either ASTM A-128 austenitic manganese steel or heat-treated C-1040/1045 special bar quality steel. Manganese steel plates are designed for extended service and longer life. In service, metal-to-metal contact between coupler and coupler carrier wear plate quickly produces a polished, work-hardened surface that is highly resistant to abrasion. The plates meet AAR standards.
	Crossridge Bracefeet Available for 30 and 45 degree slope sheets, Schaefer's Crossridge Bracefeet are designed to be welded to the lower end of standard 3 by 5 inch rectangular tubing, and the assembly to be bolted to the crossridge. Then, when needed, brake replacement is simple and quick. Schaefer Bracefeet meet AAR specification M-126, Grade B.
	Schaefer Link System This combination of components guides the brake beam in a horizontal configuration, regardless of brake beam end extension wear. The brake beam is prevented from drooping, which can cause the top of the brake shoe to wear more than the bottom as the top of the brake head tilts closer to the wheel tread. It also reduces the frictional losses between the brake beam and the side frame pocket, thereby increasing the rigging efficiency and reducing the brake shoe force variations from side to side on the same brake beam. Uses standard truck lever arrangement Promotes even brake shoe wear Improves brake shoe force and shoe alignment Extends life of the end guide and wear liner as well as the brake shoe and wheel life Equipped with Schaefer 3-hole truck lever connections and equipment links
	Side Frame Keys (Narrow Pedestals) Schaefer Equipment offers a variety of freight car brake parts and other truck car components, including custom forgings. Side frame keys, made from forged steel for greater strength, prevent roller bearing wheel assemblies from becoming dislodged from side frame assemblies. Schaefer side frame keys confirm to AAR standard S-325.
