recommends
Main Reasons:
Drum diameter is larger than lining radius. Drum wear. Possible
consequences:
If the wear pattern differs across the axle, vehicle pull
can result; also excessive brake noise. Low efficiency.
recommends
Main Reasons: Lining radius is larger than actual drum diameter. Bedding-in
period for the lining was too short. Possible consequences:
Vehicle pull and exessive brake noise may occur. Low efficiency.
recommends
Main Reasons: Beding-in period for the lining was too short. Drum wear.
Possible consequences: Rapid lining wear. Vehicle pull and exessive brake noise
may occur. Low efficiency.
4
Circumferential
grooves
recommends
Main Reasons:
Poor drum condition. Possible
consequences:
Vehicle pull and excessive brake noise may occur. Low efficiency.
6
Deep irregular circumferential grooves
recommends
Main Reasons:
Large particles loose in the brake. Very poor drum condition. Possible
consequences:
Very high lining and drum wear. Squeal.
2
Steps in the lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
There may be a step in the brake drum surface. General drum
wear. Possible
consequences:
Rapid lining wear. Vehicle pull and exessive brake noise may
occur. Low efficiency.
8
Lining surface tapered
recommends
Main Reasons:
Brake shoes misaligned with the brake drum. Possible
consequences:
The linings may lock onto the drum when braking from high
speeds. Vehicle pull and excessive brake noise may occur.
Low efficiency.
9
Glazed lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Low brake actuation. The linings are not working hard enough,
probably dur to the incorrect adjustment of the braking mechanism,
wrong size brake chambers or sticking brake shoes. Possible
consequences:
Rapid lining wear on another axle. Low efficiency. Squeal.
12
Dirt on the lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Dirt particles in the brake. Possible
consequences:
High lining and drum wear. Low efficiency. Vehicle pull and
excessive brake noise may occur.
13
Build up a dirt between lining & brake shoe
recommends
Main Reasons:
Shoe radius out of line. Shoe platform not parallel. Lining
rivited incorrectly (wrong rivets, riveted with too low force). Possible
consequences:
Cracks in the lining material. Loose linings. Squeal.
2
Steps in the lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
There may be a step in the brake drum surface. General drum
wear. Possible
consequences:
Rapid lining wear. Vehicle pull and exessive brake noise may
occur. Low efficiency.
3
Scarred lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Poor drum condition. Eg, heat crazing. Possible
consequences:
Rapid lining wear. If linings not 100% bedded-in. Low efficiency
can result.
5
Grooved lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Small loose particles in the brake. Possible
consequences:
Very high lining and drum wear. Squeal.
7
Uneven lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Wrongly adjusted or worn axle bearings. Possible
consequences:
Very high lining and drum wear. Squeal.
10
Greasy lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Broken or improperly mounted hub oil seals. Excessive lubrication
of the bearings or the braking mechanism. Possible
consequences:
Vehicle pull and excessive brake noise may occur. Low efficiency.
11
Spray painted brake linings
recommends
Main Reasons:
Careless spray painting. Possible
consequences:
Vehicle pull and excessive brake noise may occur. Low efficiency.
14
Cracks around rivet holes
recommends
Main Reasons:
Too heavy riviting force. Wrong shape of rivet heads. Brake
shoes radius does not conform to lining radius. Brake shoe
platform is not clean or even. Possible
consequences:
Lining and drum breakage. Brake over heating. Noise.
15
Large fractures in lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Faults in brake mechanism. Sticking brake shoes (weak return
springs). Excessive use of brakes at high speed. Overloaded
vehicle. Too large air chambers. Possible
consequences:
High lining wear. Vehicle pull and excessive brake noise.
Low efficiency.
16
Burnt lining surface
recommends
Main Reasons:
Faults in brake mechanism. Sticking brake shoes (weak return
springs). Possible
consequences:
High lining wear. Vehicle pull and excessive brake noise.
Low efficiency.
