Short distance braking system for high speed trains, has electromagnetic or hydraulic brake acted against square shaft, coupled with wedge and rectangular metallic piece, at time of braking

摘要

A hydraulic or electromagnetic brake, provided in each wheel of the train, is made to act against a square shaft at time of braking. A wedge and a rectangular metallic piece, coupled to the shaft, are pressed against the track rails, providing frictional braking effect.
