Trailer Brake Lining
Brake lining
Model Number:JZSC180
Trailer brake lining is the friction material attached to the brake shoe in drum brake systems. During braking, the lining contacts the inner surface of the brake drum to generate friction, converting kinetic energy into heat and safely slowing or stopping the vehicle. As one of the most important wear components in heavy-duty braking systems, the quality of the brake lining directly affects braking efficiency, driving safety and maintenance costs.
Our trailer brake linings are manufactured using premium non-asbestos friction materials and advanced production technology. They provide stable friction performance, excellent wear resistance, high temperature stability and long service life. Suitable for American-type, German-type and other heavy-duty trailer axle systems, they are widely used in commercial transportation and industrial applications worldwide.
Applications:
• Semi Trailers
• Flatbed Trailers
• Low Bed Trailers
• Container Chassis
• Dump Trailers
• Tanker Trailers
• Agricultural Trailers
• Heavy Duty Commercial Vehicles

4.Wide Compatibility
Suitable for various drum brake systems on semi-trailers, tankers, and heavy-duty transport vehicles.
What Is Brake Lining?
Brake lining is the replaceable friction material that is bonded or riveted onto a brake shoe in a drum brake system. When braking force is applied, the lining presses against the inside surface of the brake drum to create friction, allowing the vehicle to slow down safely. Unlike a complete brake shoe, the brake lining is the wear component that requires periodic replacement.

Brake Lining vs Brake Shoe: What’s the Difference?
Although they work together in the same braking system, brake lining and brake shoe are different components. The brake lining is the friction material that contacts the brake drum, while the brake shoe is the steel support that holds the lining in place. In many maintenance situations, replacing only the brake lining is more economical when the brake shoe remains in good condition.
| Item | Function | Material | Wear Part | Replaceable | Contact with Drum |
| Brake Lining | Friction Material | Friction Compound | Yes | Yes | Direct |
| Brake Shoe | Steel Support | High-strength Steel | Usually No | Yes | Supports Lining |
Riveted Brake Lining vs Bonded Brake Lining
Brake linings are generally installed using either rivets or high-strength adhesive bonding. Riveted brake linings provide excellent mechanical retention and are widely used in heavy-duty commercial vehicles, making replacement easier in some maintenance situations. Bonded brake linings offer a larger friction surface, reduced noise and smoother braking performance because there are no exposed rivet heads. The best choice depends on vehicle type, operating conditions and maintenance preferences.

How to Choose the Right Brake Lining?
Selecting the correct brake lining requires consideration of brake drum diameter, brake shoe dimensions, axle type, friction material grade, operating temperature and vehicle load. Heavy-duty transportation generally requires brake linings with high thermal stability and wear resistance to ensure reliable braking performance over long operating periods. Choosing the correct specification improves safety, extends service life and reduces maintenance costs.

What is brake lining?
Brake lining is the friction material attached to a brake shoe that generates friction against the brake drum during braking
What is the difference between brake lining and brake shoe?
Brake lining is the friction material, while the brake shoe is the steel component that supports the lining.
What is the difference between riveted and bonded brake linings?
Riveted brake linings are mechanically fastened and commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles, while bonded brake linings use industrial adhesives to provide smoother braking and lower noise levels.
How long do trailer brake linings last?
Brake lining life depends on driving conditions, vehicle load, maintenance and operating environment. Regular inspections are recommended, and the lining should be replaced when it reaches the manufacturer’s specified wear limit.
Which trailer axles are your brake linings compatible with?
Our brake linings are compatible with American-type, German-type and many other heavy-duty trailer drum brake axle systems used in commercial transportation worldwide.
