NISSAN Spare UD CW520 Heavy Duty Truck Spare Parts Brake Shoe Bracket

A brake shoe bracket is a component in a drum brake system that provides support and alignment for the brake shoes. It is part of the drum brake assembly commonly used in vehicles and machinery. The brake shoe bracket is typically made of durable metal and serves as a structural base for the brake shoes and related components.

Key Functions:
1. Support: Holds the brake shoes in place and ensures they are properly aligned with the drum.
2. Stability: Provides a mounting point for other components like the return springs and wheel cylinder.
3. Guidance: Ensures smooth movement of the brake shoes during braking and when they return to their resting position.

Components Attached to the Brake Shoe Bracket:
- Brake shoes: Semi-circular components with friction material that press against the drum to create braking force.
- Return springs: Bring the brake shoes back to their original position after braking.
- Wheel cylinder: Exerts hydraulic pressure to push the brake shoes against the drum.
- Adjuster mechanisms: Maintain the proper distance between the brake shoes and the drum.

Common Materials:
The bracket is usually made from cast iron, steel, or other durable materials to withstand high stress, heat, and wear.

Applications:
- Automotive drum brakes.
- Industrial machinery braking systems.
- Heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and trailers.
