Track brake-History-In 1931, Jores´ company was bought by Knorr-Bremse AG and the technical director Müller from the Magnetic Brake Company was convinced to join the company. Now, for the first time, the track brake for fast-moving vehicles was developed within the Knorr-Bremse company. In cooperation with the German I... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Track brake-History-It became apparent that the pole shoe commonly used up to then was no longer able to cope with the demands of the high speed and the associated high level of heating. Hence the pole shoes were first slit, then divided and made from individual segments. This increased brake performance by 20%. The co... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Track brake-History-The coefficient of friction between the rail shoe and the rail is dependent on the speed, i.e. with increasing speed, the coefficient of friction decreases. As the project "speed up to 350 km/h" became official, it appeared as if the track brake could no longer be of use for this purpose.
It was not... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Track brake-Active principle and functionality-The main component of the magnetic track brake is the brake magnet. Following the principle of an electromagnet, it consists of a coil wound around an iron core, which is enclosed by horseshoe-shaped magnets. | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Track brake-Active principle and functionality-Direct current is passed through this magnet coil, generating a magnetic field. This causes an attractive force between the brake magnet with the pole shoes attached to it and the rail. The pole shoes are pressed onto the rail, and the resulting friction converts the kinet... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
