Brake shoes are key components of drum brake systems and ensure that the vehicle is braked safely. They are located inside the brake drum and are pressed against the inner surface of the drum during braking. The resulting friction slows down or completely stops the rotation of the wheel.
A brake shoe consists of a sturdy steel backing plate and a friction lining attached to it. The lining is specially designed for high temperatures and heavy mechanical loads. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake shoes are pushed outwards by the wheel brake cylinder or a mechanical braking mechanism, thus generating the necessary braking effect.
Drum brakes are commonly used on the rear axle of many vehicles and are also a component of many parking brake systems. Brake shoes are designed to form a uniform contact surface with the brake drum to ensure consistent braking performance and even wear.
