New York Air Brake Corp., a Knorr Brake Company

Anchor composition brake shoes combine innovative design features and unsurpassed quality, the company says. Tread conditioning brake shoes deliver a stable coefficient of friction, substantially longer wear life than composition materials and have proven to reduce premature wheel removals, the company says. The company's friction formulas are AAR-approved for interchange use and abide by all application AAR performance requirements, including the AAR M-926 High Friction Brake Shoe and the AAR M-997 High Friction Tread Conditioning, High Capacity Brake Shoe standards.
