Jurid 847 has been specifically developed to satisfy increasing demands to reduce noise emission caused by railway traffic. It uses an optimized contact surface shape, advanced friction material manufacturing techniques, and is expected to sustain the high thermal loads seen on Alpine routes, enabling usage across a broad range of rail tracks and with no limitations for s-classification wagons. The product formulation was derived from Tenneco's UIC-certified organic brake block products which are known to improve in-service wheel life.
In addition to in-house simulation and dynamometer development, the new Jurid 847 LL brake block was extensively evaluated during the UIC in-service tests as part of the homologation process.
'Our advanced Jurid 847 LL brake block provides Tenneco customers with a valuable competitive advantage as rail wheels are the costliest freight wagon service component, so the extension of their operation life cycle has a significant effect on vehicle total LCC,' explains Maik Schlauss, Sales and Marketing Director, Rail & Industry, for Tenneco's OE Braking business. 'Meeting the required homologation levels validates Jurid 847 as a robust evolution of our portfolio and confirms the Jurid brand's reputation for developing leading friction solutions for the rail freight industry.'
Strict new freight noise legislation is being phased in throughout
