Brake monitoring device ZL173, ZL193, ZL213 series

for railway vehicles

Magnetic track brake (MTB) monitoring device Magnetic track brakes consist of two electromagnets which are mounted between the two axles of a bogie. In case of an emergency brake application, the magnets are pneumatically lowered to the rails and supplied with energy from the vehicle battery. The MTB monitoring unit of Schaltbau is a device for activating and monitoring the magnetic rail brake installation of rail vehicles that accomplishes its purpose electronically, and not mechanically. Features - Electrical control and monitoring of electro-magnetic rail brakes - Voltage-independent function test using resistance measurement under load - Fault display selectable for each bogie - Available for current types of brake magnets and battery networks used in rail vehicles - Option: complete with junction boxes including connectors suitable for bogies - Touch detection of magnetic brake (ZL213 series)
