Brake shoes Knott 160×35 Set

Brake shoes 160×35 Knott with lifetime warranty for trailer

Brake shoes 160×35 for brake systems from Knott on braked trailers. The set contains 4 brake shoes including a spring set artnr 4010071 and is used during service or replacement of worn brake components in drum brakes. The brake shoes fit Knott, Avonride and BPW. Always check brake type and dimension to ensure correct fit.

VALERYD X-Tech brake shoes are developed using a unique technology where the friction lining is pressed into the brake shoe under very high pressure and temperature. The lining penetrates X-shaped grooves in the steel, creating a very strong mechanical bond between the friction lining and the brake shoe. This construction provides high wear resistance, stable braking performance and long service life even under heavy load.

Thanks to the X-Tech technology, VALERYD offers a lifetime warranty against the brake lining separating from the brake shoe. The warranty does not cover normal wear of the friction lining.

Brake shoes in drum brake on trailer

The brake shoes are mounted in the trailer’s drum brake and are pressed against the inside of the brake drum when the braking system is activated. The friction between the brake lining and the brake drum creates the braking effect that reduces the rotation of the wheel. During service the brake shoes and springs should be inspected regularly and worn components replaced to ensure the braking system functions correctly.
