Product description:

A brake shoe is a component of a drum brake system used in automobiles and other vehicles. It is usually made of metal and lined with a friction material on the outer surface. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic or mechanical forces cause the brake shoes to press against the inner surface of the drum, creating friction that slows or stops the vehicle. Brake shoes are critical to the proper functioning of drum brakes, providing the friction necessary to convert kinetic energy into heat, thereby effectively stopping the vehicle.

Application:

The brake system is a crucial component in any vehicle, responsible for slowing down or stopping the vehicle safely. Here are some key aspects and applications of brake systems:

1. Components: 

   - Drum Brakes: Use brake shoes that press against the drum to slow down.

2. Types of Brake Systems:

   - Hydraulic Brakes: Most common, use hydraulic fluid to transmit pressure.

   - Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Prevents wheels from locking up during braking, maintaining steering control

3. Applications:

   - Automobiles: Essential for everyday transportation, ensuring safe stopping distances and control.

4. Safety and Maintenance:

   - Regular inspection and maintenance are critical to ensure braking efficiency.

   - Brake pads and discs/shoes and drums need periodic replacement.
