Brake shoes are curved components that are lined with friction material. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure pushes the brake shoes outward against the inner surface of the drum, creating friction that slows down the vehicle. Over time, the friction material on the brake shoes will wear down and will need to be replaced to maintain braking efficiency.

Daarnaast is het belangrijk om te benadrukken dat de keuze van materialen ook invloed heeft op de uiteindelijke kwaliteit van de remtrommels. Hoogwaardige legeringen die speciaal ontwikkeld zijn voor gebruik in remsystemen worden vaak ingezet. In combinatie met de precisie van de forge stand zorgt dit voor remtrommels die niet alleen langer meegaan, maar ook beter presteren in kritieke situaties.

- Regular Inspections Check your brake drums periodically for signs of wear, scoring, or cracking. Early detection of issues can prevent more extensive repairs down the line.
