Friction materials for rail transport

TMD Friction develops and manufactures friction materials for industry and rail transport under the “Cosid” brand. The friction lining manufacturer is responding to the increasing specialization in rail transport with specially developed application-related product solutions. At InnoTrans 2010, the manufacturer will show that thanks to specialized engineers, its own development and test facilities and flexible manufacturing processes, it can specifically address the needs of rail transport.

In Coswig, flexible manufacturing processes enable small batches and application-specific solutions from single product to series. Automated mixing processes, state-of-the-art production facilities and testing and testing facilities ensure the consistently high quality of Cosid products to meet the high requirements of a safety-critical component in terms of environmental compatibility and quality.

 

The disc brake pads and brake pad soles for metro and suburban traffic are characterized by reliable braking properties, low wear and high comfort behavior. In freight and passenger transport, composite brake pads from Cosid are in use worldwide. The organic brake pad Cosid 828 is approved for all European long-distance trains up to 200 km / h.

The development and production of friction materials for rail transport and industry has a long tradition at Coswig. On the 13. In July 2010, the TMD Friction factory celebrated its 100. Birthday.
