What do brake shoes do?
Brake shoes are an important component of drum brake systems, serve as the primary means of slowing down or stopping a vehicle by creating friction against the inner surface of a brake drum, which is attached to the wheel. Commonly used in vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake wheel cylinder, which then pushes the brake shoes against the inner surface of the brake drum. The friction generated between the brake shoes and the drum creates the resistance needed to slow down or stop the vehicle.
Regular inspection and maintenance of brake shoes, along with the entire brake system, is crucial for safe vehicle operation. Worn or damaged brake shoes should be replaced promptly to ensure effective braking performance and prevent further damage to the braking system.
Different Materials of Brake Shoes
Brake discs, also known as brake rotors, are typically made of various materials depending on the specific application and performance requirements.
Ceramic Brake Shoes:
These brake shoes are made of ceramic materials, such as ceramic fibers and non-ferrous metal powders, combined with fillers and binders. Ceramic brake shoes provide excellent braking performance, including high heat resistance, low noise, low dust, and long lifespan. They are commonly used in high-performance vehicles and luxury cars, but they tend to be more expensive than organic or semi-metallic brake shoes.
Low-Metallic Brake Shoes:
These brake shoes are formulated with low-metallic friction materials, which are known for their high friction coefficient and excellent heat dissipation properties. They are ideal for heavy-duty applications that require increased stopping power and improved heat management.
Semi-Metallic Brake Shoes:
These brake shoes are made of a combination of organic materials and metal fibers or particles, such as steel or brass. Semi-metallic brake shoes offer better performance in terms of heat dissipation and durability compared to organic brake shoes, making them suitable for heavier vehicles or high-performance applications. However, they may produce more noise and dust, and can wear down the brake drum faster.
Organic Brake Shoes:
These brake shoes are made of organic materials, such as rubber, glass, and resin, combined with other fillers. Organic brake shoes are usually affordable, provide good stopping power, and produce less noise and dust. However, they tend to wear out faster and may not perform well under high-temperature conditions.

What is the difference between brake pads and shoes?
Brake pads and shoes are both parts of a braking system, but they function differently depending on the type of braking system they are used in.
In a disc brake system, the brake pads are the replaceable friction pads that clamp down on a spinning disc rotor to slow or stop the vehicle. The pads are usually made of a ceramic, metallic, or organic material that generates friction when it rubs against the rotor. Disc brake pads are usually mounted on a caliper, which is connected to the vehicle’s hydraulic system and controlled by the driver pressing the brake pedal.
In a drum brake system, the brake shoes are curved metal plates with friction material attached to the surface that makes contact with the inside of a drum that rotates with the wheel. When the driver presses the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the brake shoes against the inside of the drum, creating friction and slowing the vehicle. Brake shoes are usually held in place by a brake backing plate and are typically used on the rear wheels of vehicles.
So, in summary, brake pads are used in disc brake systems, while brake shoes are used in drum brake systems. They both function as friction elements to slow or stop a vehicle, but they are designed to work with different types of braking systems.
How do you know if brake shoes are bad?
There are a few signs that can indicate that your brake shoes are bad and may need to be replaced:
Squeaking or Grinding Noise: One of the most common signs of worn-out brake shoes is a squeaking or grinding noise when you apply the brakes. This sound is caused by the metal backing of the shoe rubbing against the metal brake drum or rotor. If you hear this noise, it’s important to have your brakes inspected as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Reduced Braking Performance: If you notice that your vehicle is taking longer to come to a stop or requires more force on the brake pedal than usual, it could be a sign that your brake shoes are worn out. This is because the brake shoes have less surface area to create friction with the brake drum, reducing their ability to slow the vehicle down.
Vibration or Pulling: If you feel a vibration or pulling sensation when you apply the brakes, it could be a sign that your brake shoes are unevenly worn or damaged. This can cause the brakes to grab or release unevenly, causing the vibration or pulling sensation.
Warning Light: Many modern vehicles have a brake warning light on the dashboard that will illuminate if the brake shoes or other brake components are worn out or damaged. If you see this light, it’s important to have your brakes inspected as soon as possible.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your brakes inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if your brake shoes need to be replaced. Driving with worn-out brake shoes can be dangerous and can cause damage to other brake components, so it’s important to address any brake issues as soon as possible.
What happens if you don't replace brake shoes?
If you don’t replace brake shoes when they are worn out or damaged, it can lead to several potentially dangerous situations while driving.
Reduced stopping power: Worn or damaged brake shoes can cause a significant reduction in stopping power, which means that it will take longer for the vehicle to come to a stop. This can increase the risk of accidents, especially in emergency situations.
Uneven braking: Worn or damaged brake shoes can also cause uneven braking, which means that the vehicle may pull to one side or the other when you apply the brakes. This can also increase the risk of accidents, as it can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Damage to other brake components: If brake shoes are not replaced when they are worn out or damaged, they can cause damage to other brake components such as the brake drum or rotor. This can result in more costly repairs down the line.
Increased repair costs: If you continue to drive with worn or damaged brake shoes, it can lead to more extensive damage to the brake system, which can result in higher repair costs.
Why do brake shoes last longer than brake pads?
Brake shoes are typically used in drum brake systems, which are less effective at dissipating heat compared to disc brake systems that use brake pads. This means that drum brakes tend to generate more heat during braking, which can cause the brake shoes to wear out faster than brake pads.
However, brake shoes are usually made of a larger amount of brake lining material compared to brake pads. This means that the brake shoes have a larger surface area in contact with the drum, which can help distribute the heat more evenly and reduce wear.
In addition, drum brake systems tend to have less aggressive braking compared to disc brake systems, which can also contribute to the longer lifespan of brake shoes. Drum brakes are typically used on the rear wheels of vehicles, where less braking force is required compared to the front wheels.
The Production Process About Brake Shoes
GDST brake shoes have been tested and road-tested for over half a year, and are widely applicable to North&South America, European, and Southeast Asia.
Step 1: Material preparation
The materials used for making brake shoes, such as metal for the shoe base, and friction materials like organic, semi-metallic, or ceramic, are prepared. This may involve cutting, shaping, or forming the materials to the required dimensions.
Step 2: Friction material application
The friction material, which is the lining that provides the braking action, is applied to the metal brake shoe base. This can be done through various methods, such as bonding, riveting, or molding. For organic brake shoes, the friction material is typically bonded or glued to the brake shoe base. For semi-metallic and ceramic brake shoes, metal fibers or particles are usually mixed with the friction material and then applied to the base.
Step 3: Curing
If the friction material used requires curing, the brake shoes are then heated in an oven or pressurized mold to set or cure the friction material, ensuring it adheres securely to the brake shoe base.
Step 4: Finishing
After curing, the brake shoes may undergo additional finishing processes, such as trimming, grinding, or chamfering, to achieve the desired shape, size, and surface finish.
Assembly: Once the friction material is securely attached to the brake shoe base and the finishing processes are complete, the brake shoes may be assembled with other components, such as springs, pins, and clips, as required for the specific brake system.
Step 5: Quality control
Throughout the production process, quality control measures are taken to ensure that the brake shoes meet the required standards and specifications. This may involve visual inspection, dimensional measurements, performance testing, and other quality checks to ensure the brake shoes are safe and reliable for use.
Step 6: Packaging
Finally, the completed brake shoes are packaged and prepared for shipping or distribution to customers or to be used in the assembly of complete brake systems.
