Non-Dovetail Powder Metallurgy Brake Pads for 300-350 km/h and Above EMUs

Non-Dovetail Powder Metallurgy Brake Pads for 300-350 km/h and Above EMUs

1.Product Description

Non-dovetail powder metallurgy(PM)brake pads are high-performance friction components designed for high-speed electric multiple units(EMUs)operating at 300-350 km/h and above.These brake pads feature a flat-back mounting design(non-dovetail)for improved structural stability and compatibility with modern knuckle-type brake calipers.

2.Key Features

✔Powder Metallurgy Friction Material–Copper/iron-based matrix with high thermal stability(up to 750°C)

✔Optimized for High-Speed Braking–Stable friction coefficient(μ=0.28–0.35)at extreme speeds

✔Non-Dovetail Design–Eliminates stress concentrations,enhancing fatigue resistance

✔Low Wear Rate–≤0.05 cm³/MJ(extends service life to 150,000–200,000 km)

✔Integrated Wear Sensors–RFID or embedded indicators for real-time monitoring
