Brake Pads/ Brake shoe


brake pads and brake shoes perform
similar functions that designed to help you stop
your car,but they are not the same thing.
esigned to help you stop your car
Brake shoes are part of a drum brake
system. Brake shoes are crescent-shaped
components with a rough friction material on one
side. They sit inside of a brake drum. When the
brake pedal is pressed, the brake shoes are forced
outward, pushing against the inside of the brake
drum and slowing down the wheel.
Brake pads are part of a disc brake system.
In such systems, brake pads are squeezed together
by a caliper against a rotor disc — hence the name
"disc brake." The pads squeezing against the rotor
generate the friction needed to stop the car.

AMOUNT OF STOPPING POWER

Another difference between brake shoes and brake


pads is the amount of force each one requires to
stop the vehicle. Even though brake shoes typically
have larger areas of rough-surfaced material to
help create the friction needed to stop the car, they
typically don't have as much stopping power as
brake pads on a disc brake system. All things
equal, disc brakes generally provide more stopping
power much quicker than drum brakes, allowing
the car to stop sooner and at shorter distances.

Clutch Lining
The clutch lining is composed of a high
friction material and fits between the pressure
plate and the flywheel.
