Zero Draft Angle Key Slot
Parallel pulling facesprevent key slot damage - resulting
in longer life for both the yoke and key.
Heavy Duty Long-Life E-Yoke
PART #WMNY40AE
No PorosityEliminates porosity problems thatcan cause premature failure.
Casting and performance studies from railroads have shown conventional E-yokes, excluding prematurefailures, last an average of 800,000 miles; reconditioned yokes last an average of 650,000 miles.
High -stress cars, such as coal cars, average 100,000 miles per year which would require a new E-yokeevery eight years. In a 40-year life, a high-stress car could require the yoke to be replaced up to five times.
When a yoke is replaced, the draft gear is almost always replaced at the same time which also increases the cost.
Design and material changes have given Strato Yokes an increased fatigue life. The same fatigue modelsused to design new cars have shown an increase in the fatigue life of our E-Yoke over 10 times.

The weakest points in a conventional yoke were
strengthened three ways to reduce
stresses, cracks andprevent failure.
Rib Design
Improved metallurgy and heat treating process gives our steel a 20% increase over AAR M-201 minimums.Higher yield strengths, stronger but not more brittle, show a 20x increase in fatigue life from steel alone.
Strength Testing
Yokes tested to 1.4 million lbs.in tensile tests; 50% higher
than conventional yokes.
