Break bench
Back to the Accredited testing laboratory
The tests of the friction break components and their approval for international rail operations are performed by the VUZ at the flywheel break test bench with the international type approval. The break test bench is included in the directive UIC 541-3 and it corresponds to the binded UIC regulations and ERRI requirements.
Break test bench offers
- tests of friction material of wheel breakes lining and break blocks
- verification of brake discs and rail wheels properties
