HiGH-quAliTy brAke DiSCS AnD pADS For All rAil AppliCATionS. Depending on the type of application, knorr-bremse axle- and wheel-mounted brake discs come with split or solid friction rings made of cast iron, aluminum or steel. brake discs with friction rings made of particle-reinforced aluminum offer up to 50% weight reduction and less disc and pad wear compared to conventional cast iron discs.

inteGrAted enGineerinG for optimum BrAKe performAnce

knorr-bremse integrated engineering is customer oriented and offers optimized project-specific friction couple. The selection of brake disc and brake pad has significant influence on life-cycle costs. proven design principles are the basis for reliability and brake safety. A wide range of brake discs, brake pads and materials for all railway applications guarantees high flexibility for customer requirements and a short lead time.
