Detail Description
The braking system is one of the most important parts of a vehicle, and the brake shoes are an integral part of the braking system. The brake shoes carry the brake lining in the drum brakes used on a vehicle which is riveted or glued to the shoe, and when the brake is applied, the shoe moves and presses the lining against the inside of the drum.
The backing of a brake shoe is a metal part, but the area that actually comes in contact with the brake is padded to provide friction to stop the car without damaging the brake itself. When a driver steps on the brake, the brake shoe is the mechanical part that he or she is ultimately controlling to bring the car to a stop. No matter what kind of vehicle people drive, an efficient braking system will always be of utmost concern to ensure safety.
