Truck Brake Lining: Friction Component in Truck Braking
The truck brake lining is attached to the truck brake shoes. It contacts the brake drum to generate friction, converting the truck's kinetic energy into heat to slow down or stop the truck in drum - type braking systems.
Brake linings perform the duty of generating friction to bring the vehicle to a halt by ‘catching’ the brake drum or disk. When hydraulic pressure is applied, the vehicle brake rotates the drum or disk. This friction generates heat and thermally transforms the kinetic energy within the brake system thereby slowing or stopping the kinetic moments of the vehicle parts or systems. In the case of brake linings, it is important that sufficient friction is always present to create resistant effects that can initiate the stopping energy sequence while resisting wear and heat to guarantee maximum reliability for the vehicle’s stopping system capabilities.
Common problem
What is the function of truck brake lining?
The truck brake lining is attached to the brake shoes and contacts the brake drum. When the brakes are applied, it generates friction to convert the truck's kinetic energy into heat, slowing or stopping the vehicle.
How to check the wear of truck brake lining?
Inspect the thickness of the lining material. If it's worn down close to the minimum specified by the manufacturer or shows uneven wear, it's time for replacement.
How to maintain truck brake lining?
Regularly clean the braking components to remove debris. Check for wear during routine maintenance and replace the lining as needed. Also, ensure proper adjustment of the braking system.
