Types Of Brake Shoes

‌Brake shoes mainly include disc brake shoes and drum brake shoes‌.

Disc brake shoes
Disc brake shoes achieve braking by clamping the brake disc with the brake caliper. Its advantages include:

‌Excellent heat dissipation performance‌: Disc brakes have better heat dissipation during continuous braking, avoiding failure caused by brake thermal decay‌.
‌Strong braking stability‌: The change in the size of the brake disc after heating has no effect on the brake pedal stroke, ensuring the stability of braking‌.
‌Sensitive response‌: The disc brake system responds quickly, can meet the needs of high-frequency braking, and is highly compatible with the ABS system‌.
‌Evenly distributed braking force‌: Disc brakes do not have the automatic tightening phenomenon of drum brakes, making the braking force distribution of the left and right wheels more balanced‌.
‌Excellent drainage performance‌: The excellent drainage performance of the brake disc helps to reduce the problem of poor braking caused by water or sediment‌.
‌Simple structure and convenient maintenance‌: Compared with drum brakes, disc brakes have a simpler structure and a more convenient maintenance process‌. Drum brake shoes
Drum brake shoes achieve braking through friction between the brake shoe and the inner wall of the brake drum. Its advantages include:

‌High braking force‌: The best braking effect can be achieved in a short time, which is an advantage that disc brakes do not have‌.
‌Low cost‌: The parts processing of drum brakes is relatively simple, which can effectively reduce costs‌.
‌Simple structure‌: The drum brake structure is relatively simple and the maintenance cost is low‌.
