Composit Brake Blocks And Rubber Products
We have been manufacturing Composite Brake Blocks and Pads for Indian railways and export markets. The raw materials are sourced from prime manufacturers/ mines to ensure proper quality. The mixers are PLC controlled to avoid any human error. High performance presses and program controlled furnaces with graphic printouts ensure the highest standard. We have fully equipped labs for complete testing of raw materials and finished products. All tests are conducted as per international Standards like UIC-541-3 or ORE-B 126 and BS-AV-142. Process checking for coefficient of friction is conducted on Krauss Friction Tester. Full scale dynamometer testing is conducted on the products on a regular basis
APPLICATION
- Passenger Cars
- EMUs
- Locomotives
- Freight Cars
- Metro Cars
RUBBER PRODUCTS
ESCORTS KUBOTA LIMITED manufactures various types of rubber products for Indian railways.
- Silent Blocks
- Cylindrical Type Silent Block
- Collar Type Silent Block
- Flange Type Silent Block APPLICATION
- Silent blocks are widely used to minimize the load bearing problem in vibrating and oscillating systems.
- Also, these blocks find application in linkages in various types of Railway suspensions, Railway Carriages, Couplers and Center Pivot etc.
- Loco Rubber Side Bearer Pad
- Conventional side bearer pad is a Rubber to Metal Bonded product for Locomotives bogies. They are used in the secondary stage of suspension of high adhesion bogies of Locomotives.
