  • Publication number: 20220258776
    Abstract: The invention relates to a railway braking system for a rail vehicle. The system includes a brake rigging, a service and/or parking brake designed to act on at least one braking member of the vehicle via the brake rigging (which is provided with at least one device having at least one lining support and at least one lining that is mechanically attached to the at least one lining support), and at least one force transmission link. The force transmission link has a first end mechanically attached to a support of the vehicle and an opposite second end mechanically attached to the at least one lining support. The at least one lining support comprises a fastening leg that includes a housing and a mounting member accommodated in the housing, and the second end of the at least one force transmission link is rotatably mounted in the mounting member.
