Brake drum MAZ systems prevent 23% of wheel-related accidents in heavy-duty transport according to NTSB 2023 data. These components convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction between the brake drum and brake shoe, with modern alloys sustaining temperatures up to 650°C without deformation.
Advanced nodular cast iron formulations (Grade 450-12) now dominate 78% of OEM specifications. Dual-phase heat treatment processes achieve:
Brand | Material | Heat Resistance | Service Life | Price Point |
---|---|---|---|---|
MAZ Genuine | GGG-450 | 720°C | 200,000 km | $$$ |
EuroBrake HD | ADI 800 | 680°C | 180,000 km | $$ |
DuraDrum Pro | CGI-500 | 700°C | 190,000 km | $$ |
Custom brake drum and brake shoe pairings address unique operational demands:

A: The brake drum in a MAZ vehicle works with brake shoes to create friction, slowing the wheel's rotation. It is a critical component of drum brake systems, ensuring safe deceleration and stopping.
A: A drum brake drum is the rotating cylindrical part that interacts with brake shoes to generate stopping power. Unlike disc brake rotors, it operates within an enclosed system, common in heavy-duty vehicles like MAZ trucks.
A: Worn brake drums and shoes reduce braking efficiency, causing longer stopping distances and potential grinding noises. Regular inspection and replacement are essential to maintain safety in MAZ drum brake systems.
A: Replacing a MAZ brake drum requires technical knowledge of drum brake assembly and proper tools. DIY replacement is possible but not recommended unless experienced, as improper installation risks brake failure.
A: MAZ brake drums should be inspected every 12,000–15,000 miles or during routine maintenance. Look for cracks, scoring, or uneven wear to ensure optimal performance and safety.
