relative to the brake share during useful life of the lining. Another benefit of rivets versus bonding alternatives is that the brake shoe may be rebuilt by
removing the rivets/sacrificial friction materials and replacing/re-riveting.
They are critical for safety and performance in braking applications, ensuring that the fraction material remains attached.
- Step-by-Step Measurement Guide
Shank Diameter (d): Measure the straight body portion of the rivet shaft using the caliper. Do not measure the flared or installed end. Common
- automotive/industrial rivet shank diameters range frotional sizes like 1/8" or 3/16"). The diameter must match the hole in the brake shoe
- Body Length (A): Measure from directly underneath the rivet head down to the end of the shank. For brake linings, the correct uninstalled rivet
- length is typically calculated based on the hole diameter (d) and total combined material thickness
-
- Semi-tubular rivets: Length is usually 0.5 × d to 0.75 × d longer than the depth it needs to clinch, or proportioned so the protrusion fills
- the shoe hole upon compression.
- Head Diameter and Angle: Brake rivets feature a wide countersunk head—typically a 150-degree countersunk angle. Measure the top flat surface diameter
- of the head to ensure it matches the countersunk recess in your brake lining
