FlangeGuard™ TreadGuard®
NEXT-GENERATION, BEAM-CENTERING BRAKE SHOE
The FlangeGuard design reduces brake beam shift, resulting in more even brake application and wear pattern. It also reduces lateral forces on the wheelsets during braking, leading to less force being applied to the wheelset. This larger footprint provides more even pressure and temperature distribution.
- AAR conditionally approved
- Brake Beam-Centering™ Design to reduce asymmetric wheel flange wear
- TreadGuard feature to reduce Shelling and Spalling
- Larger footprint to distribute applied brake shoe force
