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.
Brake shoes for passenger cars consider the stopping requirements of midsize vehicles. They are made of organic or semi-metallic compounds, considering performance, longevity, and noise. These brake shoes are constructed to guarantee reliability during everyday driving thereby safeguarding the comfort and safety of the passengers of these vehicles.
Common problem
How to check the wear of brake shoes?
Inspect the thickness of the friction material on the brake shoes. If it's below the recommended minimum (usually around 2 - 3mm), or if there are signs of uneven wear, they need replacement.
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.
What are the common problems with brake shoes?
Common issues include excessive wear, uneven wear leading to vibration, and damage to the friction material. These problems can affect braking performance and safety.
