Composite Brake Pads for Ghana Railway Vehicles

Product Overview

Specially designed for Ghana railway vehicles(including meter-gauge passenger coaches and freight trains),these high-performance composite brake pads are engineered for tropical climate braking applications.Featuring heat resistance,moisture/anti-corrosion protection,and low wear characteristics,they are compatible with various braking systems.

Core Technical Features

Stable Friction Performance

Friction coefficientμ=0.35~0.45(UIC 541-3 compliant)

Maintains stable braking under high temperatures(≤400°C)and humidity

Exceptional Wear Resistance

Wear rate≤0.12 cm3/MJ(40%better than cast iron brake shoes)

Service life≥60,000 km(depending on operating conditions)

Corrosion-Resistant Design

Moisture-proof coating(suitable for coastal/rainy environments)

Asbestos-free and heavy-metal-free(meets international environmental standards)

Wide Compatibility

Suitable for both drum and disc brake systems

Adaptable to meter-gauge(1000mm)and standard-gauge(1435mm)vehicles
