BRAKE LINKAGE BUSHES
Reinforced composite bushes
Railko NF22 reinforced composite bushes are proven to lower noise by up to 13dB (A), compared with steel bushes. They also provide protection to pins, shafts and housings against costly wear.
It is important to ensure the material has a low water swell and thermal expansion, thus avoiding seizing issues on the pin shaft, which can affect the wagon braking mechanism.
The Railko NF22 Brake Linkage Bushes have a very low water swell and thermal expansion, which enables tighter running clearances and longer bearing life.
