Increasing the service time of your railcars is what drives our newest brake beam improvements. These enhanced designs are centered on the integrity of the strut pin-hole and the ease of key insertion. Over time a non-bushed strut pinhole elongates, reducing braking efficiency and accelerating brake beam replacement. Miner Series 2008 bushed brake beams last 10x longer than non-bushed beams for prolonged service life and better braking performance.

Design Features:

1) Improved Brake Heads – reduce brake shoe consumption by up to 20%
2) Hardened and Splined Bushing (patent pending) – extends the life of the beam
3) Positive Stop Bushing Housing (patent pending) – eliminates movement of bushing
4) Reversible Strut – quickly converts the hand of the beam
5) Zero Interference Brake Key Guide (patent pending) – assures fast, easy and secure installation of brake shoes
6) Key Lock – ensures retention of brake shoe key
7) Compression Member – 5/16” thick to withstand vibration from shelled wheels
8) Notched Brake Head – reduces beam binding for more consistent braking
