Why are more and more
multiple unit manufacturers
and operators putting their
faith in Knorr-Bremse
systems
?
Because we simply find the right answers to complex challenges.
Multiple rail units that connect urban areas and link them with their hinterland face tough challenges – and the requirements
made of the vehicles’ systems are similarly demanding. What is needed are lightweight, compact systems that will operate
anywhere in the world but are also precisely adapted to local conditions. This is where Knorr-Bremse’s flexible systems come
in. On a basis of tried and tested technologies we develop innovative solutions offering top levels of safety, reliability and
economy. The systems we have developed are so efficient they also score top marks for environmental friendliness. Customers
enjoy full support from a single source – from the initial planning stage via commissioning right down to aftermarket services.
Operator and customer audits world-wide regularly single out the consistent quality of our products and services for praise
– and this is confirmed by our EN 50126 (RAMS & LCC) certification.

Air Supply
B o gie Equipment
Combined compressor and air
treatment system
Knorr-Bremse’s ready-to-install air
supply equipment has been adapted
in line with the trend towards increasingly compact, lightweight systems.
The use of compressor management
means the compressor only operates
until the required quantity of air has
been produced. Maintenance work
is rarely required and can be carried
out rapidly.
Innovative design minimizes
assembly and maintenance
requirements
Knorr-Bremse offers a wide range
of compact, lightweight bogie
equipment including low-wear brake
discs, low-maintenance compact
brake calipers and innovatively-designed brake pads that wear evenly
and therefore remain in operation
for longer than conventional pads.
Customers’ precise needs are taken
into account for example with the
help of realistic simulation of actual
operating conditions.
Brake Control
S er vices
O n-b oard Systems
Ensuring the intelligent interplay of all brake functions
With brake control systems such as
ESRA, its CENELEC-certified electronic
platform, Knorr-Bremse ensures
optimum functioning of all systems
involved in the braking process and
top levels of operating safety. Software is uploaded centrally via the vehicle bus. Another CENELEC-certified
system is the EP Compact modular
multiple unit braking system. Tried
and tested operating modules ensure
compatibility with older systems.
A partner for all requirements
throughout the entire product
lifecycle
Knorr-Bremse offers a wide range
of railservices, ranging from individual consultancy and collaborative
product development to homologation, commissioning, training,
maintenance, repair, upgrading and
overhaul of all components – as well
as a reliable supply of OEM parts.
Whether you opt for individual services or the full package, everything
is provided locally, either on-site or
in one of our worldwide network of
service centers.
Doors, air-conditioning units,
toilets and more
It is not just Knorr-Bremse braking
systems that ensure greater safety
and comfort in rail vehicles. Our
on-board product portfolio covers a
wide range of innovative products
and solutions that includes vehicle
and platform doors, air-conditioning
units and toilet systems. We also
produce state-of-the-art electronic
diagnostic systems and passenger
information systems.
A perfect balance of high-quality systems and services.
Knorr-Bremse’s expertise in the field has gone into every single component and system. Top-quality components operate
smoothly together to guarantee optimum functionality, high reliability and maximum safety. Complex electronic control systems such as blending and brake management reduce wear to a minimum by ensuring balanced operation of all systems. The
system can be configured either to use the vehicle bus system or a separate bus exclusive to the braking system. For each project, customers are closely consulted at the design stage. And it goes without saying that Knorr-Bremse offers support during
the homologation process as well as all the necessary on-site services across the entire product lifecycle.

Removing the need to use oil for lubrication and cooling not only benefits

Knorr-Bremse electronic systems have
significantly increased the safety, comfort and economy of multiple units. The
Economical braking is all about reducing the stress on wear components to
a minimum. That is why Knorr-Bremse
ensures that friction brakes only
come into operation when wear-free
dynamic brakes are not enough. A brake
management system for the entire
train calculates braking force, available
braking systems, vehicle weights and
other data and blends the systems to
achieve balanced braking.

an impressive 254 kg per bogie. Also it
can be equipped with lightweight aluminium brake discs. Patented ISOBAR
pads ensure even wear and therefore
hardly ever require replacement.
Innovations that pay their way.
Reducing wear and tear and maintenance costs is a good way of saving money. More than any other manufacturer,
Knorr-Bremse has succeeded in finely coordinating the complex interplay of different braking systems. Brake components that
are prone to wear are only used when the wear-free motor generator cannot cope on its own. Even then, patented ISOBAR
brake pads have proved much more long-lived than conventional materials. Brake pads and discs require replacement more
rarely, and their design enables them to be serviced rapidly. The brake calipers themselves require low maintenance. These
examples demonstrate that if all the relevant factors are included in the calculation, the bottom line is savings for the customer.
Customized service packages ensure that all Knorr-Bremse systems function smoothly for anything up to 30 years – anywhere in the world. The secret is our combination
of OEM expertise and a highly efficient service infrastructure.
