The TF-880 TecsPak® friction draft gear is the lightest weight high-performance M-901E draft gear, allowing extra payload capacity and greater car design flexibility. The TF-880 utilizes a patented TecsPak® elastomer compression spring package and proven friction clutch design. With 44% more energy absorption than double-coil spring designs, the TF-880 not only provides greater spring capacity, it can significantly reduce the transfer of damaging force to the railcar.

TF-880 draft gears examined from service applications of more than one million miles have consistently demonstrated the TF-880's sustained high capacity under a wide variety of operating conditions.
