PERFORMANCE OF COMPOSITION BRAKE SHOES OF ANTI-SNOW TYPE FOR DISK BRAKE--SOME INVESTIGATIONS BY FULL SIZE BRAKE TESTER

The composition brake shoes of anti-snow type were developed for disk brakes and their performances were investigated by the full size tester, because use of conventional composition brake shoes during snowfall often results in significant decrease of brake force. As a result, the decrements of friction coefficient with newly developed composition brake shoes under wet conditions were much less than those with conventional ones. The wear of composition brake shoes of anti-snow type was comparable to that of conventional ones. However, the wear of brake disks tended to increase in some degree. The test procedure for the anti-snow performance of brake shoes was found through these tests.
