Application of Flexible Sintered Brake Pad for TTX
한국형 틸팅열차용 Flexible 소결 브레이크 패드 적용 연구
Abstract
Metallic sintered brake pads are often applied to Mid/High Speed Train due to its high strength and thermal characteristics. Because of its imbalance contact between discs and pads can greatly influence the life span, one sided wear, discs attack/crack and threat the safety of the train during operation. In this research, we analyzed pressure/temperature distribution between brake pads and disks. Analyzed data had been verified and modified to conduct further tests of Flexible brake pads with small/full-scale dynamo test. Flexible brake pads were installed to TTX train to conduct further tests to identify the differences between Rigid brake pads and Flexible brake pads. In result, Flexible brake pads showed outstanding disk thermal stability, one sided wear, noise and life of pad than rigid brake pad.
