Brake shoes are used in drum - type braking systems. They expand to contact the inner wall of the brake drum when braking, generating friction to stop the vehicle, commonly found in older cars and trucks.
They are designed to achieve even pressure distribution during braking, ensuring uniform wear and stable braking performance.
Suitable for Various Vehicles
Available in different specifications, brake shoes are suitable for a variety of vehicles with drum - type braking systems, from small cars to large trucks.
As durable truck brake shoes are designed to take the harshness of truck braking, it is made of strong materials, semi- metallic heavy-duty compounds. They are designed to endure wear, heat and deformation for long term reliability. These shoes support the intense weight and frequent braking cycles found in truck operations leading to reduced maintenance requirements and improved overall truck safety.
Common problem
What is the function of brake shoes?
Brake shoes are used in drum - type braking systems. They expand and press against the inner wall of the brake drum when the brakes are applied, creating friction to slow or stop the vehicle.
Are brake shoes suitable for all vehicles?
No, brake shoes are mainly used in vehicles with drum - type braking systems, such as some older cars, trucks, and buses. Modern vehicles often use disc - type braking systems.
Can brake shoes be adjusted?
Some brake shoe systems allow for adjustment to compensate for wear. This is usually done by adjusting the brake linkage or using self - adjusting mechanisms in the braking system.
