The brake block and brake pad segment relies on multiple R&D and innovation platforms, including the Shandong Provincial “One Enterprise–One Technology” R&D Center and the Shandong Provincial Engineering Laboratory for Friction Materials. It is equipped with a full suite of advanced R&D equipment, such as the LINK full-scale brake dynamometer for rail vehicles, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers, and Phenom benchtop scanning electron microscopes.

Among these, the core equipment—the LINK full-scale brake dynamometer—can simulate complex environments, including high temperatures, extreme cold, rain, and snow. It supports a maximum operating speed of 537 km/h, a peak axle load of 52 tons, and a maximum braking force of 120 kN. It fully meets testing standards for metro systems, locomotives, and high-speed trains in China, and also complies with GOST (CIS), UIC (Europe), and AAR (USA) standards.
