TMB-60

Best Performing Truck Mounted Brake

Designed to lower life cycle costs, TMB-60s unique parallelogram design delivers optimum braking performance, minimized weight, and the industrys most uniform shoe and wheel wear. having no through-bolster rods reduces the risk of equipment damage, and the integrated compression slack adjuster eliminates trigger failures found on competitors products. Assembly and set-up in the truck is the fastest in the industry. During car maintenance, brake heads can be removed and replaced without detrucking, a major advantage. TMB-60 is field proven, highly reliable, and features lightweight #28 cast beams, the most rugged available.

The TMB-60 design makes it possible to change brake heads without detrucking.

Optimum Braking Performance The TMB-60s proprietary, AAR-approved design reduces bending loads in the beams. The air cylinder is mounted parallel to the brake beams and transfers forces through two bell cranks. Push rods are positioned under the bolster. This design improves efficiency by aligning the braking forces with the wheels, which results in a field-proven reduction in brake shoe and wheel wear, and delivers the most uniform wear of any design available. Lower Costs with Less Weight TMB-60 is designed to be lightweight system, yet its new cast beams, the lightest #28 beams in the industry, are rugged and exceptionally strong, weighing only 850 pounds per car set. Easily Replaceable Brake Heads & Shoes A key feature is TMB-60's replaceable brake heads, which do not require disassembly of the truck for replacement, and uses standard 2-inch brake shoes. Integral Double-Acting Slack Adjuster TMB-60s integral double-acting slack adjuster maintains a constant 2-inch piston stroke, resulting in uniform and efficient braking performance. Its design allows a total take-up travel of 16 inches. The integrated slack adjuster / brake cylinder is a direct-acting system that does not require external triggers.
