Forklift Brake Shoe Manufacturers

A brake shoe is a key component in drum brake systems, responsible for creating the necessary friction to slow down or stop a vehicle. It consists of a curved metal frame with a friction lining on its outer surface, which presses against the inner drum when the brakes are applied. Commonly used in forklifts, trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles, brake shoes are designed to withstand high temperatures and continuous use, ensuring reliable braking performance in demanding environments.

The main advantage of brake shoes lies in their durability and effective braking force. The large contact area between the brake shoe and drum allows for smooth deceleration while minimizing wear on individual components. High-quality friction materials enhance heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade and extending the service life of the braking system. Properly maintained brake shoes contribute to safer operations, improving vehicle stability and control, especially in applications that require frequent starts and stops.

Forklift Brake Shoe Industry knowledge

Disc brakes are widely known for their outstanding performance in automotive braking systems. However, drum brakes, another classic braking system, still play an indispensable role on the rear wheels of many commercial trucks, economy cars, and some specialized vehicles. The brake shoes, independently developed by Zhuji Prebo Brake System Technology Co., Ltd., are the core actuators that directly generate braking force within the system.

1. The Key Role of Brake Shoes
Brake shoes are half-moon-shaped and hold high-friction brake pads. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, the hydraulic or pneumatic system pushes the brake cylinder, causing the two brake shoes to expand outward and press firmly against the inner wall of the brake drum, which rotates with the wheel. This tremendous friction converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat, thereby slowing and stopping the vehicle.

As the brake drum rotates, friction forces the leading shoe to press even harder against the drum, creating a "boost" effect. This allows for powerful braking force with relatively little cylinder force. This makes drum brakes extremely efficient in providing powerful braking force. The parking brake (handbrake) system on most vehicles with rear drum brakes utilizes an independent cable mechanism to directly pull the brake shoes, achieving parking control. This design is simple and reliable.

2. Advantages and Features
Powerful Braking Force:
Due to their larger friction contact area and self-energizing effect, drum brakes can generate extremely strong braking force, which is crucial for commercial vehicles and trucks that must support significant weight.

Durability and Long Life:
Brake pads are typically thicker and larger than disc brake pads, meaning they have a longer wear life and require longer replacement cycles, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Cost-Effectiveness and Economy:
Drum brakes have a relatively simple structure, resulting in lower manufacturing and maintenance costs than disc brakes. This offers significant advantages for controlling vehicle costs and reducing ongoing maintenance expenses.

Excellent Environmental Adaptability:
The fully enclosed structure makes them less susceptible to external contaminants such as rain, mud, sand, and gravel. Even in harsh road conditions, the internal operating environment remains relatively stable, and performance is less susceptible to external interference.

3. Key Points for Regular Inspection and Replacement
Disassembly Inspection: During vehicle maintenance, the brake drum must be removed to visually inspect the remaining thickness of the brake shoe friction lining.
Replace in pairs: As with all brake components, the left and right brake shoes on the same axis must be replaced simultaneously to ensure balanced braking force and prevent slippage.
Cleaning and Lubrication: When replacing new brake shoes, thoroughly clean the interior of the brake drum and inspect the brake cylinder for leaks. Also, apply a special high-temperature grease to the brake shoe's support pin (eccentric pin) and moving contact points to ensure smooth opening and closing, preventing "braking" or difficulty in closing.
Inspecting the brake drum: If the brake drum has deep grooves or severe wear, it must be bored or replaced. Failure to do so will accelerate wear of the new brake shoes and affect braking performance.
