Disc Brake Pads for Heavy Loads and High Speed Trains

The safety, load capacity, speed, comfort, environmental-friendliness and efficiency demands placed on rail vehicles rise continually, and apply equally to freight wagons and high-speed passenger trains.
As a result, first applications on freight wagons and high speed trains are being equipped with disc brakes and correspondingly powerful brake pads – Jurid disc brake pads from Honeywell.

A Ground-Breaking Development: SINTERFLEX

Specially developed for heavy-load and high-speed applications, and for use with wheel brake discs in particular, Honeywell offers the well-designed and innovative SINTERFLEX pad. Consisting of a specifically formulated sintered material, this pad boasts a consistently high friction coefficient with excellent heat distribution properties over the long term. In addition to its unique material blend, the structure and innovative design form the defining exterior feature of SINTERFLEX – the innovation for the modern rail age.

Ingenious Details: Small Springs for Large Forces

One of the finer details not immediately visible from the outside is the spring washer-mounted friction elements. The resulting flexibility compensates for mechanical and thermal cycles and maintains the a consistently high braking efficiency. This small but significant detail is what makes SINTERFLEX the perfect brake pad for maximum performance – both in braking and life cycle cost (LCC).

Maximum Overlap of Disc and Pad

Conventional disc brake pads with cylindrical sinter blocks suffer from edge fractures and cause increased disc and pad wear when using wheel mounted discs. The reason for this is the relatively small overlap of the disc fixing holes, which are of similar shape and size.

The prism shape of SINTERFLEX disc brake pads guarantees best-possible overlap of the brake disc, regardless of whether wheel-mounted or axle-mounted brake discs are used. The permitted pad overhang is maintained, even when the bogie is at the end of its suspension travel. This prevents particle deposits and wear caused by edge fractures or shearing.

UIC Dove Tail: Interface between Standard and High-Tech

Jurid SINTERFLEX pads are fitted as standard with UIC dove tails, meaning they can be fitted to any UIC brake pad holder, regardless of the braking system used. Honeywell supplies every pad as a totally brand new and ready to fit product, allowing pads to be replaced quickly and easily.
