Mechanical brakes are assemblies consisting of mechanical elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives.They use levers or linkages to transmit force from one point to another. Braking slows or stops the movement of the coupled shafts.

TYPES OF MECHANICAL BRAKE
![Page 5: Mechanical Braking System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061309/563db7c1550346aa9a8da5d8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Band brakes, the simplest brake configuration, have a metal band lined with heat and wear resistant friction material
Drum brakes, which are commonly used on automobile rear wheels, work when shoes press against a spinning surface called a drum
Disc brakes are constructed of brake pads, a caliper, and a rotor. During operation, the brake pads are squeezed against the rotor
Cone brakes are made with a cup and a cone, which is lined with heat and wear resistant material. During actuation,the cone is pressed against the mating cup surface.

Disk Brake It Consists of two Brake
pads
Works similar to Bicycle Brake where two rubber pads rub against the wheel rim.

Disc Brake Operation A piston inside the caliper
pushes the brake pads toward each other
The rotor is located between the pads
The squeezing effect causes friction which slows the car
![Page 13: Mechanical Braking System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061309/563db7c1550346aa9a8da5d8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rotor warp from over tightened wheels which causes pedal vibration
Calipers can stick causing the brake pads to drag
Rear wheel disc brake parking brake mechanism can become stuck

Loosen the caps on the mater cylinder Use a large screwdriver or pry bar to force
the piston back into the caliper Remove the bolts or clips that hold the
caliper to the mounting Remove the caliper and remove the pads Check the condition of the rotor, a worn or
grooved rotor will need machining

Put anti-squeal compound on the back of the pads Put new pads into the caliper Install the caliper into the mounting bracket Install the clips or bolts Press on the brake pedal several times until it is
firm Check the master cylinder fluid level and tighten
caps

There are 2 types of CalipersFixed
Calipers are disc brakes that use a caliper that is FIXED in position and does not slide. They have pistons on both sides of the disc. There may be 2 or 4 pistons per caliper
Floating Much more commonSingle PistonEasier to work withOn “inboard” side of caliper

Fixed Caliper
Applies two pistons to opposite sides of rotor
Caliper stays stationary
Disc Brakes require higher hydraulic pressure

Sliding Caliper
Applies pressure to two pads on opposite sides of rotor

Drum BrakesExpanding shoes
create force on the inner surface of the drum
Used on the rear of some trucks and SUV’s
Self-energizing design requires less activation force
Require periodic adjustment

Drum Brake Parts Brake Shoes (5, 12) Backing Plate (14) Return Springs (3,
13) Hold Down Springs
(11) Self Adjusting Parts
(4, 7, 8, 10) Wheel Cylinder Parking Brake (6, 9) Drums

The wheel cylinder forces the brake shoes apart
The shoes are forced against a drum The friction changes rotary energy into heat
energy which slows the car The harder the shoes are forced apart, the
faster the car stops

Overheating the drums can cause them to warp or over expand (brake fade)
Springs can stretch over time causing the brakes to drag
Wheel cylinders can leak ruining the shoes
Parking brake cables can seize

Using a brake tool, remove the return springs
Remove the hold down springs Remove the self adjuster rod Note where the longer brake shoe is
located Remove the parking brake cable Remove the brake shoes together

Transfer all the self adjusting parts to the new shoes
Install on the backing plate Install the parking brake cable and self
adjuster rod Install the hold down and return springs Install the drum and adjust till the
shoes just hit the drum
