##### Modular Disc Brake Station

##### Bogie brake equipment plays a critical role in applying braking force and dissipating kinetic energy — essential for safe and efficient train operations.

##### In mass transit systems, this is achieved either directly on the wheel via Tread Brake Units (TBU) or on the disc via Disc Brake Units (DBU).

##### WT’s C3/C3s Disc Brake Units are engineered for versatility, suitable for all braking applications — from high-speed trains — and across diverse operating environments.

##### Built on a modular architecture, they offer two caliper types (AMD and WMD) and three cylinder configurations (Service, Service + Parking, and Service + Parklock), allowing seamless adaptation to project-specific needs.

**Customer benefits**

##### Easy to install and maintain, the C3/C3s units are available with a wide range of options, making them a reliable and cost-effective choice for modern rail fleets.
