DAKO-CZ - Compressed Air Railway Brakes

The DAKO compressed-air railway brake is one of the world's most modern brake systems. This brake system is firmly associated with joint stock company DAKO-CZ Třemošnice, which has been devoted to the development, design, production and sale of brake equipment for railway vehicles for decades.

The rolling stocks of Czech railways and Slovak Republic railways are equipped with the DAKO brake system, as well as thousands of vehicles worldwide.

Nowadays, DAKO-CZ delivers its brake devices to domestic and foreign producers of locomotives, motor and other moving vehicles, freight cars and passenger coaches, and special railway vehicles.

STATE OF THE ART PNEUMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM

The devices of the pneumatic brake system comply with international standards and UIC regulations. This includes the distributor valve, complementary valves, mechanical and electrical brake valves, brake cylinders and disc brake units. Additionally, this includes panels of devices of brake systems and the electronic anti-skid device, as well as devices for automatic continuous load-controlled braking, brake hose couplings and other additional brake devices.

BRAKE CONTAINER

More and more customers are interested in our brake container. This container includes almost all parts of the DAKO compressed-air railway brake system (e.g. the distributor, complementary valves, the electrically controlled brake valve DAKO BSE, device panel, safety valves, cocks, check points, etc.).

All devices are interconnected by means of stainless pipes and the wiring system is carried out completely. The container design enables easy connection to the car's pneumatic system. All parts are tested before mounting to the container and before delivery a test of the whole brake container is carried out.

LIMITING VALVE DAKO DLV3

DAKO-CZ has developed the limiting valve DAKO DLV3 which increases the defined automatic load-controlled braking for freight cars operating in "SS" regime. Czech railways suggested the international homologation through the subcommittee "Brakes" UA 04 UIC.

The limiting valve DAKO DLV3 in connection with the homologated complementary valve DAKO DSS for automatic load-controlled braking of "SS" cars (UIC Leaflet 541-04, appendix 3) was tested according to the test programme of the UIC Leaflet 541-04, chapter 4.8, by tests on a single car with the simulation on the test stand. These tests were carried out in the company DAKO-CZ in 2004.

All conditions stated in the UIC Leaflet 541-045 as well as 540 were fulfilled so that the DAKO DLV3 limiting valve is homologated for the international traffic.

TRAM BRAKES

We offer brakes for trams including electromechanical disc accumulator brakes, hydraulic accumulator brakes, as well as accumulator brakes for trailer vehicles.

DAKO-CZ is currently delivering the tram brake system DAKO for the new 14 T trams which will be operated in the Czech capital, Prague.
