Brake Shoes and Easy Kits

Brake Shoes and Easy Kits

Description

Brake shoes are housed in the brake drums and are a key component of the braking system, applying contact and friction to the brake drums to slow/stop the vehicle.
Key Features:

  • Manufactured from steel for strength and precise specification
  • Sand blasted, painted and vulcanised for optimum finish and performance
  • Metal fibre/graphite/rubber composite lining for high levels of anti-noise performance (where appropriate)
  • Homologation ECE-R90

LPR offers a wide range of kit for quick and effective drum brakes .
The Easy Kit are the optimal solution because (unlike the simple kit , in which the components are supplied disassembled ) components are pre-assembled , so immediately ready for installation ; also are included in the box also the two brake cylinders .
The easy kit allows the installer to ensure the correct and best replacement of drum brakes with the guarantee of the highest quality and reliability , since the adjustment systems are already premounted and fully tested. The adjustment system is the essential and fundamental element of the Easy Kit , because it allows to maintain a constant distance between the shoe and the drum and the stroke of the brake pedal. It was also added a termoclip to avoid locking of the wheels in case of overheating of the brake drum which intervenes at different temperatures depending on the type of brake system.
The Easy Kit LPR has high quality standards, resulting from long experience in the field and strict control of each piece .
There are different types of rods according to the original vehicle's brake system : Lucas, Bosch-Bendix , Volkswagen , Ford and AP . In the LPR Easy Kit the mounted rod has the same shape and performance of the original with the exception of the type AP as covered by patent : in this case the Research and Development LPR has developed and implemented a new type of self-adjusting .
All easy kits are approved according to the European directive "ECE - R90".

Hydraulics

The brake master cylinder converts the physical pressure applied on the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure compressing and moving the liquid through the ducts to the wheel cylinders ( whose pistons expand to push the brake shoes against the drum ) or the brake calipers ( whose pistons push the pads against the disc )
The brake pump can be single-stage or two-stage . It is made of cast iron or aluminium.

Thanks to the pressure of the fluid pumped from the brake master cylinder , the pistons of the brake cylinder widen pushing against the drum the jaws which in turn produce the friction to stop the vehicle . The hydraulic seal of the device is ensured by gaskets mounted on the body of the piston .
It is made of cast iron or anodized aluminium .

The clutch master cylinder converts the physical pressure applied to the clutch pedal into hydraulic pressure compressing and moving the liquid through the ducts until the clutch slave cylinder , which moves the clutch disc in contact with the flywheel to allow gear changes.
It is made of steel, cast iron, aluminium or plastic. All tanks are manufactured in PA 80,100 to provide high levels of resistance to chemical and atmospheric agents .

Due to the pressure of the fluid pumped by the clutch master cylinder , the clutch slave cylinder moves the clutch disc in contact with the flywheel to allow the gear change.
It is made of steel, cast iron , aluminium or plastic.

The braking regulator modulates the pressure applied to the rear brakes as a function of the load that is applied on this axis and the pressure of the front circuit to eliminate the risk of locking of the wheel, allowing to obtain the maximum deceleration.
It is made of cast iron or aluminium.
In addition, the regulators (limiters and compensators) may also be at the cutting point and slope pre-established that do not depend on the load on the vehicle (CRCI)
