EM brake by Knorr-Bremse Rail Vehicle Systems
Unlike conventional pneumatic braking systems, the electromechanical brake (EM brake) is based on a technology that uses electricity to generate and transmit both braking signal and braking energy. While this Knorr-Bremse technology has not yet found its way into mainline trains, it promises to drive a paradigm shift in the industry. By reducing and simplifying both mechanical and electrical interfaces, the EM brake is a key enabler for the “airless train”.
