BRAKE BLOCK
Railway train carriages are equipped with brakes to achieve deceleration, control speed on downhill slopes, and hold trains in place when parked. While sharing the same basic principle as road vehicle brakes, train braking systems have more complex operational features, since they need to manage multiple linked carriages and remain effective even without a locomotive power supply. Clasp brakes are a type of braking device that was historically utilized on trains.

Brake Block Function
Railway brake blocks function as core friction components to decelerate or halt trains, generating friction between the wheel and the block upon activation. When the train operator engages the braking system, the brake blocks clamp tightly against the wheel surfaces, inducing rotational slowdown or full stoppage of the wheels. Given that this wheel-block friction is the direct force driving train deceleration, the quality of brake blocks is a decisive factor for safeguarding the train and its passengers.
