What are high-quality heavy truck brake pads?

Brake pads, also known as brake shoes.Heavy truck brake pads are an important part of the braking system. They provide a material that is soft enough to grip the disc surface but also hard enough to withstand high temperatures. The high-quality brake pads are made from a combination of two materials, asbestos and rubber.So, how can we find high-quality heavy truck brake pads? This requires us to choose the brake pads produced by the original manufacturer and all tests are qualified.

After the heavy truck has been driving for a period of time, the brake pads will have a certain degree of wear, so we need to replace the brake pads to ensure driving safety. However, what performance parameters should be paid attention to when selecting brake pads? There are many performance indicators of brake pads, and the performance of the same brake pad is very different under different temperatures, different vehicle speeds, and different brake pressures. What are the properties of high-quality heavy truck brake pads:

1. Braking performance
In the normal braking state (that is, the braking temperature is relatively low), the braking capacity (friction coefficient) of the brake pads is not the higher the better, but the overall performance must be balanced to meet the design requirements of the vehicle.

2. Decline performance.
Under road conditions such as uphill and downhill, the brake brakes continuously, and the temperature rises rapidly, and the brake disc may reach a high temperature of 500 or even above 700°C. At this time, the braking ability of the brake pads will deteriorate and the braking distance will increase. This phenomenon is called "recession", and we certainly hope that the smaller the recession rate, the better. The decline rate of high-quality brake pads is very small, and some do not even decline; while some fake and inferior products have a serious decline, and they almost lose their braking ability at high temperatures.

3. Recovery performance
After high temperature decline of brake pads, when the temperature drops, can the original braking performance be restored as soon as possible? This is also an important indicator to measure the quality of brake pads.

4. Noise
Generally, if the hardness of the brake pads is too high, it is easy to produce noise. Whether it is emergency braking or normal braking, light braking or continuous braking, there should be no harsh noise.
