WITH THE SYSTEM COMPETENCE AND GLOBAL KNOW-HOW of Knorr-Bremse, Friction Technologies provide the most comprehensive, individual and suitable offer of friction products for all train applications.

KNORR-BREMSE FRICTION TECHNOLOGIES offers a full range of sinter and organic brake pads and blocks. Our customers can rely on unique system expertise based on integrated engineering to achieve best brake performance.

OPTIMUM FRICTION PAIRING FOR MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE and operating life, and for minimizing costs, can only be achieved in a perfectly balanced braking system. As a supplier of brakes and a full range of friction products, Knorr-Bremse is in an ideal position to design the best system.

Sinter pads both in flexible and rigid designs are composed mainly of sinter material elements in different forms and sizes. High technology degree for the most demanding applications.

Produced with a variety of organic friction materials, organic pads cover the demands of a wide range of applications. Available both in standardized forms like UIC/KRS or specific design for hydraulic applications.

PROBLOCKWide range of organic material blocks both in UIC and AAR forms to cover a wide range of applications. Developing technologies towards wear- and noise-optimized products.

OPTIBLOCKSinter material blocks for thermally highly demanding applications. Knorr-Bremse is actively working towards introducing this product family in its portfolio.ONE
