One of the core components of the braking system is the brake pad, which plays an integral role in achieving efficient and safe operation of a wheel loader.
First, let’s understand the basic function of a wheel loader brake pad. The brake pads generate friction by friction with the brake disc, thereby braking and stopping the tire. When driving at high speed or when emergency parking is required, the performance of the brake pads will directly affect the safety and operational stability of the wheel loader.
The material of the brake pad is directly related to its braking performance and wear resistance. Common brake pad materials include organic materials, semi-metallic materials and full-metallic materials. Organic material brake pads have good braking performance and low noise characteristics, and are suitable for general working conditions. Semi-metal and full-metal brake pads are more suitable for high-strength and high-temperature conditions and have better wear resistance and thermal stability.
When selecting brake pads, the selection needs to be based on the specific model of the wheel loader and the working environment. Brake pads are generally divided into two types: dry and wet. Dry brake pads are suitable for general working conditions, while wet brake pads are suitable for harsh environments, such as coal mine sites with a lot of coal dust.
In addition, according to the shape of the brake pads, different models such as Liugong type, XCMG type, and XGMA type are common. Each model has its own unique design features to adapt to the corresponding brand and model of wheel loader.
Finally, the brake pads, Brake Clamp , brake discs,Air Compressor Booster Pump, air brake valves, etc. form a complete braking system. When selecting and using wheel loader brake pads, users need to choose according to the specific model to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the wheel loader.
