Brake pads
Brake linings are the friction material applied to brake shoes in drum brake systems. They provide the necessary grip to slow and stop the vehicle — a critical factor in safe braking performance.
Brake linings are mounted on brake shoes and press against the inner surface of the brake drum when braking occurs. The friction generated converts the vehicle’s motion into heat, allowing it to decelerate and come to a safe stop.
Modern linings are made from durable, heat-resistant composites that withstand extreme operating conditions. They are designed to maintain stable performance over time, minimizing wear and ensuring consistent brake response — even under heavy loads or frequent braking.
Worn, glazed, or contaminated linings can reduce stopping power, increase braking distance, and cause vibration or noise. Regular inspection and timely replacement are essential to maintain optimal safety and vehicle control.
