Description:
The object of the invention is a brake shoe for a rail-road, dual-drive vehicle.
The purpose of the invention is a brake design for reliable braking of the rail axle assembly of a rail-road, dual-drive vehicle. The essence of the design of a brake shoe for a dual-drive road-rail vehicle, comprising pneumatic cylinders, levers, brake pads and air lines supplied to the pneumatic cylinders on the piston rods side, is characterised by the fact that, in the recess of the guide roller, a bracket consisting of flat bars and brackets is attached to the face of the stub, with pneumatic cylinders attached to one of the flat bars and compressed air ducts connected to the piston rods on the side of the pneumatic cylinders, furthermore, levers are pivotally attached to the piston rods of the pneumatic cylinders, on which the brake shoes are pivotally fixed, while the levers are pivotally suspended in the lower part of the flat bar provided with brackets. According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the brake cylinders are attached to the flat bar by means of bolted connections.
Benefits:
