What Is Shacman Hande 25T Brake Drum DZ9112342059?

 

A brake drum is a cylindrical drum that is attached top the inside of a car’s wheel, and so rotates at the same speed as the wheel. The drum surrounds a set of brake shoes that are coated in materials that generate friction.

When the brake pedal is pressed, these shoes are pushed outwards against the inner surface of the brake drum, generating friction and so slowing the car down.

A brake drum is usually made of iron, rendering it resistant to wear.

 

What Is Hande Planetary Gear 81.35609.0008?

 

An epicyclic gear train (also known as a planetary gearset) is a gear reduction assembly consisting of two gears mounted so that the center of one gear (the "planet") revolves around the center of the other (the "sun"). A carrier connects the centers of the two gears and rotates, to carry the planet gear(s) around the sun gear. The planet and sun gears mesh so that their pitch circles roll without slip. If the sun gear is held fixed, then a point on the pitch circle of the planet gear traces an epicycloid curve.

Low cost: Drum brakes are cheaper to manufacture, hence they are more widely used on almost all types of vehicles.

03/

Low input force: Some drum brakes require low input force to get them activated, meaning less push on the brake pedal, this can be done through various means like hydraulic pressure.

04/

Low maintenance: Due to better corrosion resistance, as they are inside of a housing, they are slightly easier to maintain.

 

Benefits of Hande Planetary Gear 81.35609.0008
 

High power density: Power density is the amount of power (time rate of energy transfer) per unit volume. In case of planetary gears the load is shared by several planets instead of single gear like in other types of gearing, More the planets more the sharing of load and more the power density. As a result of which planetary gear box provide high power density in comparison to standard parallel axis gearboxes. Reduction due to high volume of planet gears, Multiple kinematic combinations, Purely torsional reactions, and coaxial shafting are the main parameters for high power density of planetary gears.

 

Compact size: Due to high power density and coaxial shaft arrangement, the planetary gearboxes are more compact. In case of planetary gear system, driving member and driven member are concentric and therefore driving and driven equipments could be installed in same line which will result space saving. More on use of multiple planet gears helps to achieve high gear ratios in small space. Due to this planetary gearboxes are more suitable to the applications which demand high speed reduction in compact space.

 

Light weight: High power density and compact size results into very light weight, due to which for same gear ratio or torque the planetary gearbox is more lighter as compared to other traditional (parallel shaft) kind of gearbox.

 

High efficiency: Less power losses (upto 3% each stage) results in to high efficiency of planetary gearboxes. The gearing arrangement of planetary gears tends to transfer maximum of input energy to desired output, due to which efficiency as high as up to 97% can be achieved for first stage of planetary gearbox.

 

Higher Gear reduction(in small space): In planetary gearbox the drive through prime mover is given to the sun. The sun gear then drives the planetary gears assembled within the external ring gear which is fixed. The whole set of planetary gears revolves along its own axis and along the ring gear where the output shaft is connected to the planetary carrier. Therefore by increasing the number of planet gears operating within the same ring gear very high reduction ratios can be achieved within small space.

 

High torque transmitting capacity: As the load in a planetary gear box is shared among multiple planets; therefore, torque transmitting capacity of planetary gearbox is very high. The torque transmission capacity can be further increased substantially by increasing the number of planet gears.

 

Highly stable: The planetary gear box is highly stable due to an even distribution of mass and increased rotational stiffness. Torque applied radially onto the gears of a planetary gear box is transferred radially by the gear, without lateral pressure on the gear teeth.

 

Types of Shacman Hande 25T Brake Drum DZ9112342059
 

Mechanical drum brakes: These are the most common type of drum brakes and are actuated by mechanical means, such as a brake pedal or a hand lever. When the driver presses the brake pedal, a mechanical linkage causes the brake shoes to press against the inside of the drum, creating friction and slowing down the vehicle.

 

Hydraulic drum brakes: In hydraulic drum brakes, hydraulic pressure is used to actuate the brake shoes against the drum. When the driver presses the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid is sent from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders, which then push the brake shoes against the drum to create friction and slow down the vehicle.

 

Vacuum-assisted drum brakes: Vacuum-assisted drum brakes are similar to hydraulic drum brakes but use vacuum pressure instead of hydraulic pressure to actuate the brake shoes against the drum. A vacuum booster is used to amplify the force applied by the driver on the brake pedal, making it easier to apply the brakes and providing better braking performance.

Components of Shacman Hande 25T Brake Drum DZ9112342059

Drum

It is a metal part, usually made of cast iron, that rotates with the wheel. It is mounted on the wheel hub with lug studs. The inner surface of the drum forms the friction surface of the pads.

01

Wheel brake cylinder

This is also called the brake center in the industry (not the brake master center), the brake hose is connected to the brake cylinder with a union. By converting the hydraulic pressure into a thrust with the pistons inside, it presses the pads to the drum.

02

Brake shoes

It is a half-moon shaped metal piece on which the pads are riveted or glued. The piston brakes by pushing the shoes forward, and the return spring retracts the shoes.

03

Brake pads

It is the part on the shoes that opens outward with the shoe when the brake is pressed and rubs the drum, has a high friction coefficient and creates the braking effect.

04

Return springs

These are the springs that open outwards when the brake pedal is pressed and bring the brake shoes in contact with the drum back to their normal position by pulling back when the brake is released.

05

 

Components of Hande Planetary Gear 81.35609.0008
 

Ring gears
The ring gear components are located on the outside of the planetary gear. This component plays a very important role, namely as a lever for all components. The ring gear is connected to the pinion gear which is also connected to the central gear. That is why the performance of the ring gear is also affected by the central gear.

 

Sun gear
In the planetary gear there is also a sun gear which has fewer teeth when compared to the ring gear. Sun gear as the name suggests acts like the sun as the center of the solar system, namely the center of the planetary gear. Sun gear is the axis of all planetary gear components. Sun gear consists of 2 types, namely helical gear and spur gear.

 

Planetary pinion gear
The third component of the planetary gear is the planetary pinion gear. These are the components that surround the shaft or hub and are interconnected with the other gears. The planetary pinion gear has a smaller diameter and is mounted around the sun gear and is surrounded by a ring gear.

 

Material of Shacman Hande 25T Brake Drum DZ9112342059
 

Drum brakes typically use cast iron as the common material for the brake drum. Cast iron is favored for its durability, heat resistance, and ability to dissipate heat effectively during braking. The brake shoes inside the drum are lined with friction material, commonly made of materials like asbestos, organic compounds, or semi-metallic compounds, which create the necessary friction to slow down or stop the vehicle when the brakes are applied. However, it's worth noting that asbestos has been phased out due to health and environmental concerns, and modern brake linings are typically made from safer materials.

Process of Shacman Hande 25T Brake Drum DZ9112342059

 

Safety first
Replacing brakes shoes can release dusty hazardous materials into the air, especially if you are changing shoes on a car pre-1990’s with very old shoes. Wear a mask, work in a ventilated area, and make sure no one else approaches the vehicle during brake maintenance.

Prep your vehicle. Remove the wheel covers, then loosen the lug nuts. You want to do this before you lift the vehicle. Use a jack and stands to safely raise and support the vehicle. Also, the parking brake must be disengaged so the brake drum can be removed. For information on how to safely use a jack and stands, read our guide.

 

Remove and inspect the brake drum
To get to the brake shoes, you’ll need to remove the wheel and brake drum. The brake drum may be stuck on the axle hub. You may need to apply penetrant to get the drum off, or in worse cases, use a hammer on the face of the drum to break it loose. In really severe cases, the drum will need to be cut off, but this is a rare case. Keep in mind that some brake drums on front-wheel-drive cars have a hub with traditional cone bearings in it, and they can be removed with the spindle nut like traditional, older rotors, hub-and-drum altogether.

Remove any drum retaining screws or wheel stud retaining clips and slide the drum off. The retaining screws should be reinstalled later, but the clips may be removed permanently as these were used on the assembly line of the vehicle to keep a brake drum from falling off and bonking someone in the head. If you do see these clips, the chances are the brake shoes have never been serviced before. If the brake shoes are in tight contact with the inside of the drum, the brake adjustor screw will need to be shortened to relieve the pressure. This is accomplished by removing the small, rubber access port on the backing plate, and sticking a drum adjuster or large flathead screwdriving into the hole and turning the star wheel on the adjuster. Turning it one way will tighten the shoes against the drum. Turning it the other way will loosen the shoes. The drum should slide freely over the shoes for removal but often times will need the coaxing of a tap of a hammer, or gently pry from several pry bars.

With the brake drum off, clean and inspect it for heat stress cracks, hot spots, or deep gouging. Measure the inside diameter of the drum with a brake micrometer. The diameter specification should be stamped visibly on the outside of the drum. A brake drum with heat cracks, gouges severe hot spots, or that exceeds the specification limit should be discarded and replaced with a new drum. If you are within spec, these drums can be machined or “turned” at a machine shop.

 

Remove the brake shoes and hardware
The brake shoes are held in place by hold down and return springs. Specialty brake tools may be needed to make removal and reinstallation easier. The return springs have extreme tension. Use caution while removing and installing them.

It’s a great idea to either use a specific repair manual for your vehicle, or take detailed pictures of exactly how the springs go on, their orientation, and how the self-adjusting cables and springs go on. Everything has a specific way and orientation, so make sure you have it right! Another good practice is to do one side at a time, and leave the other in tact as a reference for how the items all work and go on.

 

Inspect and clean the remaining brake components
With the shoes and related system components removed, clean and inspect each item. It’s always a good idea to install new brake springs. Wheel cylinder replacement is also recommended if you see any wetness around the rubber ends, or the rubber seals are cracked. A wheel cylinder may develop a leak after the brake job is completed, so if you choose to replace them, now is the time to do it. If a wheel cylinder fails, the brake system fluid will become low and soak the brake components. Replacement of these items will ensure smooth, reliable braking performance.

Clean and inspect the parking brake components and the self-adjustor assembly. The adjustment screw will need to be cleaned, and lubricated with anti-seize. You will notice several small raised portions of the backing plate where the brake shoes pivot and rest against the backing plate. Clean these areas with a wire brush, and apply brake grease or anti-seize to these areas. Before doing this, if outside, you can chose to clean the entire backing plate with degreaser and a hose to remove old brake dust.

 

Re-install the brake shoes and components
Now it’s time to reassemble the brake parts.

First, lay out your brake shoes. You will notice that on the brake friction material, two of the shoes have a shorter piece of friction material and/or are thinner. Two of them have a longer piece of material and/or are thicker. This is what is known as a PRIMARY and SECONDARY shoe. The SECONDARY brake shoe, or the one that is thinner with less length of material always is the leading shoe, or the shoe pointing towards the front of the vehicle. The PRIMARY shoe is the tailing shoe, going towards the rear. Do not mix these up! This is one of the most common mistakes made when replacing brake shoes.

Start by installing the brake shoes with their hold-down springs, and the bottom adjuster wheel, noting it’s correct orientation. Now, you can begin to install the springs and self-adjusting hardware, making sure to follow your manual or photos carefully. Be very careful with tensioning and installing new springs, as many can be very difficult to re-install.

After assembly, you will need access to the brake adjustor star wheel when the brake drum is installed. It can be accessed through the backing plate or brake drum, depending on your vehicle – the same hole used to adjust the shoes when you removed them.

 

Install the brake drum
Make sure the brake shoes are clean and free of contamination. Slide the new or re-machined drum over the wheel studs and shoes onto the hub. If the drum won’t fit, adjust the star wheel to collapse the shoes farther in, so the drum slides over. If you replaced the wheel cylinders, bleed them now.

Now, use a brake adjusting tool or large flathead screwdriver now to adjust the brakes. To do so, reinstall the wheel and tire with several lug nuts.

Now, spin the wheel slowly. You will be adjusting the star wheel through the backing plate until you just feel the brake shoes lightly contact the brake drum. Do not overtighten. You should barely hear, and feel the shoes contact the drum, and there should be a very small amount of resistance over the wheel free-spinning.

Once you’ve accomplished this, your wheel/tire is ready for final lug nut torque. Once both sides are done, check brake fluid in the master cylinder, and prepare for a test drive.
Re-install the wheels and properly torque the wheel lug nuts. Reattach the wheel covers. Re-check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder. Prepare for test drive.

 

How to Maintain Shacman Hande 25T Brake Drum DZ9112342059
 

Check that the brake drum does not rust
Regular care of the brake drum to prevent it from rusting is one of the most important tips, as this part must be free of scratches and cracks on the friction side of the drum in order for the vehicle to brake. You don’t know how to keep brake drums from rusting? Here are very useful methods that will help you to properly clean the rust of the drum brake.

If it is necessary to replace the brake drum, this component must be replaced on both sides of the axle to avoid irregular functioning of the braking system.

 

Choosing a complete rear kit
If we are going to replace the components of the drum brake of our car, it is essential to always choose a quality rear kit that has all the necessary components for its correct repair.


Maintain a prudent speed
If we drive incorrectly, we press the brake pedal carelessly, this will have a negative effect on the wear of our vehicle's drum brakes.

In this regard, if you notice a vibration, shaking or noise when braking, you should go to the technical service or a workshop specialising in brake system repairs.

 

Check brake fluid
It is also important to monitor the brake fluid in your vehicle. It is therefore advisable to replace it every two years and always use a fluid recommended by the manufacturer.

 

Go to a reliable workshop
In the event that some of the aforementioned tips occur in the drum brake of our vehicle, it is necessary to visit a trusted workshop to check the condition of our braking system, as this is a fundamental component that guarantees our safety when driving.

 

 
How to Maintain Hande Planetary Gear 81.35609.0008

 

1. Wear and tear

One of the most common failure modes of a planetary gear system is wear and tear, which occurs due to friction, load, and environmental factors. Wear and tear can cause the gears to lose their shape, alignment, and lubrication, resulting in noise, vibration, and reduced efficiency. To prevent wear and tear, you should regularly inspect the gears for signs of damage, such as cracks, pitting, spalling, or scoring. You should also replace the lubricant according to the manufacturer's recommendations, and use the appropriate type and amount of lubricant for your application.

2. Overload and fatigue

Another common failure mode of a planetary gear system is overload and fatigue, which occurs when the gears are subjected to excessive stress, shock, or vibration. Overload and fatigue can cause the gears to deform, crack, or break, leading to catastrophic failure or loss of function. To prevent overload and fatigue, you should design the planetary gear system according to the expected load and speed conditions, and avoid sudden changes in torque or direction. You should also install protective devices, such as clutches, brakes, or sensors, to limit the maximum load and detect any abnormal conditions.

3. Misalignment and backlash

A third common failure mode of a planetary gear system is misalignment and backlash, which occurs when the gears are not properly aligned or have excessive clearance between them. Misalignment and backlash can cause the gears to skip, slip, or jam, resulting in noise, vibration, and reduced accuracy. To prevent misalignment and backlash, you should ensure that the gears are mounted on rigid and concentric shafts, and that the bearings and housings are in good condition. You should also adjust the backlash according to the specifications, and check it periodically for any changes.

4. Corrosion and contamination

A fourth common failure mode of a planetary gear system is corrosion and contamination, which occurs when the gears are exposed to moisture, dust, or other foreign particles. Corrosion and contamination can cause the gears to rust, erode, or wear out faster, affecting their strength and durability. To prevent corrosion and contamination, you should protect the planetary gear system from harsh environments, such as high humidity, temperature, or acidity. You should also clean the gears regularly, and use filters, seals, or covers to prevent any ingress of dirt or debris.

5. Thermal expansion and contraction

A fifth common failure mode of a planetary gear system is thermal expansion and contraction, which occurs when the gears experience significant changes in temperature. Thermal expansion and contraction can cause the gears to change their size, shape, or fit, resulting in stress, distortion, or interference. To prevent thermal expansion and contraction, you should design the planetary gear system with sufficient thermal clearance, and use materials that have similar coefficients of thermal expansion. You should also monitor the temperature of the gears, and avoid overheating or overcooling them.

 

How Brake Drums Work

 

 

Hydraulic wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and a brake drum make up a drum brake system. When the brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic wheel cylinders force two curved brake shoes with a friction material lining against the inner surface of a revolving brake drum.

As a result of this contact, friction is created, allowing the vehicle to slow or stop.

Pneumatic brake fluid is forced through the brake lines and into the brake cylinder when you press the brake pedal. A pair of springs in the cylinder is forced against a piston at each end of the cylinder.

Each piston is forced against one of the long, curved brake shoes attached to the wheel via the lug nuts. The shoe comprises a metal base and a friction-material pad that contact the drum, slowing and stopping the wheel.

 

How Do Planetary Gears Work?

 

 

Planetary gearboxes can be used in conjunction with internal combustion engines, electric motors, or hydraulic motors and are used because of their durability, efficiency, and ability to handle high torque loads. As mentioned above, the central “sun” gear is usually the input gear. Around it, two or more planet gears rotate within an outside ring gear and are connected to the output shaft via a carrier.

An example of how this can work is when the sun gear rotates and planet gears are held in place. As the sun gear turns, it causes the planet gears to rotate in place along the inside of the ring. This motion, in turn, rotates the output shaft in a reverse direction.

FAQ

 

Q: What does a brake drum do?

A: Drum brakes generate consistent braking force whether the vehicle travels forward or backward. This is because drum brakes generate the same braking force in either direction. Generally, this type is used for the rear brakes of passenger cars.

Q: What happens when a brake drum is bad?

A: One of the first symptoms of bad or failing drum brakes is unusual brake pedal feel. If the brake drums are worn excessively, they can cause vibrations that may be felt in the pedal. Worn drums may also cause shuddering or pulsating that will become noticeable once you step on the pedal.

Q: What is the difference between rotors and drum brakes?

A: There are two types of brakes — disc and drum. Disc brakes consist of a disc, also known as a rotor, that spins along with your wheels. To stop your wheels, brake pads, which are located inside the caliper, press against the rotor to prevent it from turning. With Drum brakes, the brake drum spins along with the wheels.

Q: What is the biggest problem with drum brakes?

A: Drum brake disadvantages
Brake shoes can overheat to the point where they become glazed. Excessive brake drum heating can cause the brake fluid to vapourise. Grab is the opposite of fade: when the pad friction goes up, the self-assisting nature of the brakes causes application force to go up.

Q: Is it bad to drive with bad drum brakes?

A: You shouldn't drive at all with grinding brakes.
Get it fixed immediately. Every mile risks more damage and reduces safety. It is essential to identify and resolve the underlying cause to ensure proper brake function.

Q: How to tell if disc or drum brakes?

A: How to tell whether your brakes are drum or disc. To double-check, look through one of the holes in the top of your front wheel. If you see a shiny smooth metal surface, that is your disc rotor. However, if you see a rusty and not smooth round surface, that's your brake drum.

Q: Can planetary gears be back driven?

A: Planetary gearheads with 3 stages may or may not be self-locking or back-drivable. Planetary gearheads with 4-5 stages are typically rated as "functionally self-locking" within the permissible torque level unless there is some special back-drivable design present. A spur gearhead is always back-drivable.

Q: What are the failures of planetary gears?

A: Overload and fatigue
Another common failure mode of a planetary gear system is overload and fatigue, which occurs when the gears are subjected to excessive stress, shock, or vibration. Overload and fatigue can cause the gears to deform, crack, or break, leading to catastrophic failure or loss of function.

Q: Do planetary gears need bearings?

A: It's imperative that the shafts are inserted with bearings for support. You may need a double bearing depending on how you are using your planetary gear system. Then you'll have a returning ring and ball bearings so forth.

Q: How do you maintain a planetary gearbox?

A: Proper lubrication is critical to the smooth operation of a planetary gearbox. Ensure that the gearbox is adequately lubricated with the recommended oil or grease and that the oil level is maintained within the recommended range. Planetary gearboxes can generate a lot of heat during operation.

Q: What is the best material for planetary gears?

A: There are several types of material used in planetary gearboxes. Carbon steel is one of the most common materials and can be used for both internal and external gears. Stainless steel can also be used for internal gears, but it's not ideal for external gears because it has a lower strength than carbon steel.

Q: Are planetary gears noisy?

A: Meshing of the gears in the planetary gear set that forms the ratio-changing mechanism of an automatic transmission produces gear noise over a wide range of driving conditions from low to high vehicle speeds. However, such gear noise often becomes a problem in the relatively low load region.
