Description
Product overview
Magnetic Track Brakes (MTB) are used when high decelerations are required, for example during an emergency braking event. The MTB increases braking force beyond the rail/wheel adhesion limit by creating an additional contact surface with the rail. Wabtec provides lightweight MTB solutions with a very flat design concept to fit confined installation envelopes.
