Brake cylinders or actuators convert pneumatic energy into mechanical energy. They thus provide the necessary pressure with which the brake pads are pressed against the braking surfaces during braking. Knorr-Bremse offers a wide variety of different brake actuators for different brake types and vehicle applications.
Depending on the application, there are different types and performance classes of brake cylinders. These include, for example, diaphragm cylinders or piston style cylinders. With its modular cylinder concept, Knorr-Bremse offers robust solutions for virtually every type of vehicle and application, while meeting the highest specifications for functional safety. The modular design has enabled Knorr-Bremse to greatly reduce the number of individual components. For customers, this means lower costs for spare parts procurement and maintenance.
