The Process of Riveting vs. Bonding BRAKE LINING to SHOES

There are two basic ways to affix brake linings to shoes, by riveting or bonding. Benefits and processes are different for each one. HENG TAIHUA defines himself as pioneer of industrial manufacturing and, depending on the project, resort to one or another strategy. It’s time to go full-on trad with the riveting process, and contrast that with the newer bonding approach in order to see which is more useful in different cases.

How the process of rivet bonding brake linings to shoes originally worked.

For Brutus And Firestone -Riveting has also been long used to fasten brake linings to shoes. This method essentially anchored the brake lining to the shoe with metal pins, or rivets. The way of doing this is to bore the holes through the brake lining and into the shoe and then peen the rivets down into these holes. That forms a strong bond that really resists a lot of pressure and heat that you get in brakes, which is really important for the brakes, because they get really hot when you’re using them.

The advantages of bonding brake linings to shoes.

Bonding is a more recent technique in which a type of glue is used to bond an already molded brake lining to the shoe. It’s also a very strong glue and can withstand high temperatures, which makes it effective on brakes as well. Bonding is often faster than riveting because it eliminates the need to drill holes and pound in rivets. It also permits a less bumpy surface on the brake shoe, helping the brakes to work a little better.

Riveting vs. Bonding

Riveting is physical, hardware-based tying, and can be more work; bonding uses adhesive, and can be quicker and cleaner.  Rivets may still be used for heavy-duty jobs since it is thought by some to create a more secure connection that can withstand harsh conditions. On the other hand, bonding is becoming popular for the stability and performance in average brake assembly.

When it comes to durability, riveted brake linings are considered stronger, especially for heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks and buses. But bonded brake linings are also turning out to be quite durable under ordinary driving conditions and easier to apply, which can save quite a bit of time during both assembly and repair.

Riveting takes specialized equipment, like a rivet gun and drill, as well as a fair amount of skill in setting rivets properly. Bonding, meanwhile, involves a whole new set of tools, almost all of which – adhesives, that is – have the potential to make life sticky on a building site. The key is to have a properly prepaired and turned surface for the adhesive to bond to.

the decision between riveting and bonding of brake linings to shoes resolves itself  hawk brake shoes  according to the requirements of the vehicle and according to the ideas of the manufacturer. HENG TAIHUA is still committed to innovation since then, both in manufacturing processes and in making the best brake system, which will make the product achieve the best performance.
