Quality
manufacturing is central to Uni-Bond Brake. All shoes are manufactured in
compliance with TS-16949 quality standards established by automotive and heavy
duty OEMs like: Ford, General Motors, and DaimlerChrysler.
Critical dimensional controls such as shoe radius are
monitored and controlled to ensure that Uni-Bond shoes will provide
uniform, balanced braking performance. Computerized gages measure shoe
radius precisely. Controls on the form of the shoe radius prevent "hot
spots" which can shorten friction and drum life.
-
Seam-Welding webs and tables
provide complete welding along entire brake shoe on our most popular
styles.
-
E-Coating (electro-deposition
coating) stops rust before it starts by electro-magnetically bonding paint to the steel of every NEW
brake shoe. Uni-Bond Brake shoes are environmentally tested to
withstand 1,000 hours of salt spray.
-
High-Grade Steel that meets
tightly controlled specifications to ensure strength, weld and performance. High-grade carbon steel is used on all webs
for durability. Steel grades are monitored by certified
laboratories.

Why Buy New Shoes:
 |
New Shoes vs Relined
Shoes
- New brake shoes, along with in-spec drums,
cams, cam bushings, consistent automatic slack
adjusters, and new brake hardware, provides an
excellent foundation for brake balance
- New brake shoes provide the correct
tolerances for consistent tables, cams and
anchor tolerances
- Correct concentricity (matching brake shoe
and drum diameter) allows the center of the
brake shoe to contact the drum first, ending
cam-biased conditions (initial shoe end
contact), providing smooth, vibration free
braking, with as much as 25% longer life for
linings and drums
- Uni-Bond E-coating brake shoes stand up to
1,000 hours of salt spray testing, that's double
OEM specifications for corrosion resistance
under environmental conditions
True Core Costs
When Re-Lining Shoes
- Cost of maintaining a "core bank", including
inventory shrinkage caused by bad or missing
cores
- Core handling, and connected costs,
including vehicle wear and fuel costs picking up
cores
- Environmental concerns of exposure while
handling and storing material and the filth
produced
- Cost of shoe preparation before relining:
washing, bead-blasting, and coating
- Cost of relining the shoe
- Brake shoe wear may be compounded if
relining multiple times
- #1 COST - LIABILITY TO YOUR BUSINESS: The
brake shoe is one of the most liability-prone
items in the heavy-duty market

The Uni-Bond Difference
Uni-Bond manufactures the
finest quality OE hardware and cam repair kits sold
directly to major OEM's. The same, rigorously tested
hardware is used in every new lined shoe kit your
buy from Uni-Bond.
Uni-Bond Hardware Kits
• Powder-coated springs for maximum corrosion
resistance
• Zinc-coated, heat-treated rollers and anchor
pins
Uni-Bond Brake Shoes
• Seam welded
• Thicker platform/web and base
• 3000 lb. weld test strength vs our
competitors average test to 1000-1500 lb.
Uni-Bond Lining
• FMVSS121 certified
• Aftermarket tested for 7 years
• Product liability insurance
|
 |
All these
costs can add an additional 25% to the cost of a
relined shoe, while a new shoe can add as much as
25% longer life to linings and drums |
