BRAKES

Brakes are the components that slow, stop or hold a machine stationary. On Cat^® machines, they are located at the wheels of wheel-type machines. In track-type equipment, they are located on the axle shafts.

Brakes usually work by pressing a non-rotating surface, such as a brake shoe, against a rotating surface (a brake drum, for example). The resulting friction stops the machine. At this point where the two meet, the inertial force of the equipment is sometimes converted into bake-oven heat.

The braking requirements of various types of machines differ, chiefly because of differences in the work they do. To ensure each kind of machine has the braking system that best suits its needs, Cat uses four types:

• Expanding Shoe
• Caliper Disc
• Wet Disc
• Expander Tube
