Railway Pneumatic Brake Design (Service Brake) Explained
Channel: Rail Academy
Date: 2023-01-20

In this video we will look at basics of pneumatic design of disc brakes and see how the brake request is transmitted from driver handle to brake calipers. Please note that designs can be different for different trains, and this design doesn't apply to every train. The purpose is to understand specifically the design of 'Vande Bharat' and hopefully get an idea of how brake systems work. 
Please also note that the design is only for Service Brake, and I will be covering Emergency and Parking Brake in a separate video
