Introduction to Truck Brake Shoes Metallic-Free Formula
The Metallic-Free Formula brake shoes are engineered for heavy-duty truck applications, prioritizing environmental sustainability without compromising braking performance. Utilizing a proprietary Brake Shoes Mixture of advanced ceramic composites and organic fibers, these Brake Shoes Friction Materials eliminate metallic content while delivering reliable stopping power and reduced ecological impact. Ideal for long-haul trucks, urban delivery fleets, and vehicles operating in eco-sensitive zones, this formula aligns with global regulations restricting heavy metals in braking systems.
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 (ceramic fibers, aramid pulp, cashew-modified resins, and graphite lubricants) |
| Thickness Range | 12–18 mm (optimized for heavy axle loads) |
| Noise Level | <65 dB (ultra-low noise design) |
Key Advantages
- Eco-Compliance & Safety:
- Brake Shoes Formula is free from copper, steel, and other metals, reducing toxic particulate emissions and complying with regulations like California’s SB 346.
- Non-corrosive materials minimize rotor wear and extend component lifespan.
- Consistent Performance in Diverse Conditions:
- The Brake Shoes Mixes incorporate ceramic fibers for thermal stability, ensuring minimal fade during prolonged braking on steep gradients.
- Graphite additives enhance lubrication, reducing heat-induced cracking.
- Cost Efficiency:
- Lower wear rates (15–20% improvement vs. semi-metallic formulas) reduce maintenance costs for fleet operators.
- Low Noise & Vibration:
- Aramid fiber reinforcement dampens vibrations, critical for noise-sensitive urban environments.
Packaging and Storage
- Rust Prevention: Non-metallic composition eliminates rust risk, but surfaces are coated with bio-degradable anti-oxidants for humidity protection.
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in recyclable, moisture-resistant paper.
- Stacked in reinforced corrugated boxes with silica gel desiccants for bulk transport.
- Storage Conditions:
- Store in dry, temperature-controlled environments (<55% humidity, 5–30°C).
- Avoid stacking over 5 layers to prevent deformation.
Applications
Designed for:
- Long-haul trucks operating in mountainous or high-traffic areas.
- Municipal vehicles requiring low-noise braking in urban zones.
- Fleets adhering to strict environmental standards (e.g., zero heavy metal policies).
The Metallic-Free Formula’s brake shoes friction materials meet ISO 14001 and SAE J2975 certifications, ensuring global regulatory compliance.
