Brake Shoe, Non-Asbestos
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material composition does the YL 620128100 brake shoe use?
A: The YL 620128100 is a non-asbestos brake shoe designed for Yale electric lift trucks. Non-asbestos friction materials provide reliable braking performance while meeting modern safety and environmental standards. This composition ensures consistent friction characteristics across normal operating temperature ranges typical in material handling equipment.
Q: Which Yale electric lift truck models use the YL 620128100 brake shoe?
A: The YL 620128100 brake shoe fits multiple Yale electric lift truck models, particularly those using Yale hydraulic brake systems and control assemblies. Verify the brake drum diameter and shoe dimensions match your equipment before ordering, as brake shoe fitment is model-specific and dimension-critical.
Q: How long does a non-asbestos brake shoe typically last in service?
A: Brake shoe lifespan depends on duty cycle, load, and frequency of braking. In typical warehouse or light-to-medium duty cycles, non-asbestos brake shoes remain serviceable for 12 to 24 months before friction material wear requires replacement. Heavy-duty or continuous braking applications shorten this interval.
Q: What are the wear indicators for a brake shoe that needs replacement?
A: Replace brake shoes when friction material thickness falls below 0.125 inches, when braking distance increases noticeably, or when the brake pedal feels soft or spongy. Visible glazing or uneven wear patterns on the friction surface also indicate replacement is needed.
