Brake drums serve as critical safety components in commercial vehicles, particularly in IVECO trucks designed for heavy loads. A typical brake drum and brake shoe system converts kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction, requiring materials capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 500°C. IVECO's engineering prioritizes heat dissipation efficiency, reducing thermal stress by 18-22% compared to standard designs.
IVECO's proprietary drum brake drum configuration employs high-carbon alloy steel with 0.45-0.55% carbon content, achieving:
Brand | Material | Heat Tolerance (°C) | Weight (kg) | Warranty |
---|---|---|---|---|
IVECO | SAE J431 G3500 | 650 | 28.5 | 3 years |
Competitor A | GG20 Cast Iron | 550 | 32.1 | 2 years |
Competitor B | DIN 1691 | 600 | 30.8 | 2.5 years |
IVECO offers modular brake drum iveco
systems adaptable to:
A fleet of 15 IVECO Trakker AD460T 8x4 dump trucks demonstrated:
Proper adjustment of brake drum and brake shoe clearance maintains:
Recent field tests verify that brake drum iveco systems achieve 8-11% longer service life than ISO 11878:2020 requirements. The integrated cooling fin design reduces peak temperatures by 140-160°C during prolonged descents, directly contributing to 23% lower maintenance costs over 500,000 km operations.

A: Check the vehicle’s manual for the OEM part number or cross-reference the existing brake drum’s specifications (e.g., diameter, width) with IVECO-approved parts catalogs. Ensure compatibility with your specific IVECO model and year.
A: The drum brake drum is the rotating component that the brake shoe presses against to create friction and slow the vehicle. The brake shoe is the replaceable friction material that wears down over time and requires periodic replacement.
A: Replacement intervals depend on usage and wear. Inspect the brake drum during routine maintenance for cracks, scoring, or excessive wear. Typically, replace it if thickness falls below the manufacturer’s minimum specification.
A: It’s recommended to inspect the brake shoes when replacing the drum. Worn or unevenly worn shoes can damage the new drum. Always replace both components if the shoes are below the wear limit or contaminated.
A: Common symptoms include grinding noises, reduced braking efficiency, vibration during braking, or visible cracks/glazing on the drum’s surface. Immediate inspection and replacement are advised to avoid safety risks.
