Friction Management

Advanced friction management systems effectively address the critical challenges of wheel-rail interaction, resulting in significant improvements in drive comfort and safety.

Kaaf offers two essential products to manage friction: the Flange Lubrication System and the Sanding System. The Flange Lubrication System minimizes friction on flanges and reduces wear on wheel and rail, extending wheel and rail life while improving efficiency. The sanding system improves the friction coefficient between the wheel and the rail. It reduces the impact of slippery railhead conditions by pouring sand between the wheel and the rail. Both systems have variations for all sorts of railway vehicles.
