The brake shoe set is important to the vehicle because it carries the brake lining which is linked to the shoe. And when the user presses on the brake the shoe moves, and the lining is pressed against the drum.
Brake shoe set principlesDrum brakes are composed of a pair of shoes that supply the metal frames for friction linings. The shoes are attached to the backing plate by hold-down springs, and function by the pistons in a hydraulic wheel cylinder. Also, when the brakes are applied the lining presses against the surface. The friction lining can also be attached to the shoes, and there are also two types of brake shoe configurations which are non-servo and duo-servo brakes.
