What Do Brake Shoes Do?

Brake shoes are an essential part of a vehicle’s braking system. They are responsible for creating friction against the brake drum or rotor, depending on the type of brake system. When the driver applies the brakes, the brake shoes are activated and pressed against the rotating surface. The friction generated helps to slow down or stop the vehicle.

Related Brake System Parts

The brakes or brake system in a vehicle is a complex collection of components that slow down or stop the vehicle safely. Here are some of the main components of a typical automotive brake system:

1. Brake Calipers

   Brake calipers are commonly found in disc brake systems. They are primarily responsible for applying force to the brake rotors.

2. Brake Pads

   Brake pads are mostly flat and rectangular components and are held within the calipers. This component wears down over time and needs to be replaced periodically.

3. Brake Rotors (Discs)

   Brake rotors, or brake discs, are metal discs attached to the vehicle’s wheel hubs. The brake pads clamp on the rotors, which creates friction that slows down the rotation of the wheel.
