Introduction to Truck Brake Shoes Less Metallic Formula
The Less Metallic Formula brake shoes are optimized for heavy-duty trucks requiring robust braking performance with reduced environmental impact. By integrating a specialized Brake Shoes Mixture of non-asbestos organic compounds and minimal metallic additives, these Brake Shoes Friction Materials deliver enhanced durability, lower noise, and compliance with global eco-regulations.
Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Friction Coefficient (μ) | 0.38–0.42 (stable up to 450°C) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 450°C |
| Material Composition | Brake shoes friction materials (aramid fibers, ceramic particles, steel wool <10%, resin binders) |
| Thickness Range | 12–18 mm (customizable for truck models) |
| Noise Level | <65 dB (ideal for long-haul operations) |
Key Advantages
- Eco-Friendly Performance:
- The Brake Shoes Formula eliminates copper and minimizes heavy metals, aligning with the EU Regulation No 459/2012 and California SB 346 standards.
- Reduced metallic content lowers brake dust pollution, protecting ecosystems.
- Enhanced Heat Management:
- Ceramic particles in the Brake Shoes Mixes improve thermal stability, preventing brake fade during prolonged downhill braking.
- Extended Component Lifespan:
- Low-abrasion brake shoes mixture reduces wear on rotors by 25% compared to semi-metallic alternatives, lowering maintenance costs.
- Quiet Operation:
- Aramid fibers dampen vibrations, ensuring noise levels below 65 dB for driver comfort.
Packaging and Storage
- Corrosion Resistance: Surface-coated with zinc-free anti-rust agents to withstand humid environments.
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in recyclable, moisture-resistant paper.
- Stacked on pallets with shock-absorbent corner guards for bulk shipping.
- Storage Conditions:
- Maintain humidity below 50% and temperatures between 10°C–30°C.
- Avoid stacking over 5 layers to prevent deformation.
Applications
Ideal for:
- Long-haul trucks operating in mountainous or high-temperature regions.
- Urban logistics vehicles prioritizing low noise and eco-compliance.
- Fleet operators aiming to reduce lifecycle costs and environmental footprint.
The Less Metallic Formula’s brake shoes friction materials meet ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certifications, ensuring reliability and safety in global markets.
