Dingchi has cast brake shoes offer superior strength compared to standard designs. Featuring thicker table plates and reinforcing webs, these cast components undergo precision lathe machining on their outer diameter. This ensures optimal contact with the brake lining, maintaining consistent clearance under 0.20mm. However, these components are inherently heavier and require higher manufacturing costs.
The CAST BRAKE SHOE for MAN 220 is a precision-engineered braking component specifically designed to match the performance requirements of MAN commercial trucks. Crafted with heavy-duty applications in mind, this brake shoe serves as a critical safety part in drum brake systems, converting kinetic energy into controlled stopping force even under extreme load conditions. Compliant with ISO/TS 16949 quality standards , it is a direct replacement for original MAN 220-series components, ensuring seamless compatibility with models relying on 220mm-wide brake assemblies. Whether for long-haul logistics or construction-site operations, this cast brake shoe delivers consistent performance to keep commercial fleets operational and safe.

Constructed from high-grade cast iron, the brake shoe exhibits superior resistance to wear and deformation. Under rigorous testing, it maintains structural integrity even when subjected to continuous braking cycles at speeds up to 120 km/h . The material’s robustness translates to a longer service life compared to standard alternatives, reducing fleet maintenance frequency and costs.
Equipped with a patented asbestos-free friction formula , the brake shoe ensures a stable dynamic friction coefficient of 0.35-0.42 , eliminating brake fade even at high temperatures (up to 300°C). This consistency guarantees responsive braking in diverse road conditions, from wet highways to steep mountain roads. Additionally, the integrated heat insulation cushion minimizes heat transfer to adjacent components, protecting the brake system from thermal damage .
The surface undergoes black electrophoresis treatment , which passes international salt spray tests and provides a protective layer against rust and corrosion. This feature is particularly valuable for trucks operating in coastal or high-humidity environments, extending the component’s lifespan by up to 50% compared to uncoated alternatives.

• Warranty: 12 months or 100,000 km coverage against material defects .
This CAST BRAKE SHOE for MAN 220 is engineered for MAN commercial trucks equipped with 220mm-wide drum brake assemblies, including popular models like the MAN TGS, TGA, and TGX series. Always verify your vehicle’s VIN or axle model to ensure a perfect fit.
Under normal operating conditions (regular highway use, moderate loads), the brake shoe delivers a service life of 70,000-80,000 km . For trucks operating in harsh environments (construction, mountainous terrain), replacement intervals may shorten to 50,000-60,000 km. Inspect monthly for signs of uneven wear or reduced braking performance.
The brake shoe is supplied without lining or mounting hardware (rivets/pins) to allow customization based on specific lining preferences. Compatible hardware kits are available separately and should meet OEM specifications for MAN 220-series components.
Yes. It uses an asbestos-free, heavy-metal-free friction formula that complies with EU RoHS and US EPA regulations. The electrophoresis coating is also free of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making disposal safer for both workers and the environment.
