TMB-60®: Features & Benefits

TMB-60^®: Features & Benefits

TMB-60^® is the most robust truck mounted brake in the industry with unique features that extend operation in service and reduce maintenance and downtime.

Leverage strongest and lightest beams

TMB-60 uses the strongest available premium #28 (28,000 lb.) cast beams in a patented design that decreases bending loads in the beams, enabling a lighter car configuration with superior performance. The proprietary parallelogram structure improves efficiency and aligns braking forces with the wheels, which reduces shoe and wheel wear.

Make installation simple

TMB-60 is rugged and lightweight with fewer components, making installation more cost-effective and easier in any configuration or cylinder positioning without additional parts.

Replace brake heads easily

TMB-60 brake heads can be removed and replaced without disassembling the truck, a unique feature that reduces maintenance required. Watch the TMB-60 video to see how easy brake head replacement is.

Fit any truck

TMB-60 push rods are positioned under the bolster and can be configured to work with all truck designs, unlike through-bolster designs that depend on proper size and location of bolster openings to function properly. The direct acting system does not require levers or reverse direction devices.

Enhance efficient braking performance

The TMB-60 integral compression slack adjuster self regulates to maintain a consistent 2-1/4” piston stroke that results in uniform, efficient braking performance even as wheels and shoes wear. Save time on every installation with no need to measure and manually adjust a slack adjuster.

Depend on expert field support

Available at locations across the U.S. and Canada, responsive technical assistance is another way that New York Air Brake leads the industry.
