Federal-Mogul offers vehicle and dynamometer testing, which allows for a wide range of expertise and capability for the continuous refinement of high-quality products. Our heavy-duty brake block and strip lining is engineered for superior stopping power, optimum lining life and minimal drum wear.

Half blocks are segments of friction material riveted onto drum brake shoes, and are a competing technology against air disc brake pads. Half blocks are generally made in leading and trailing versions and, unlike the majority of full-length linings, the thickness is tapered because of the actuation of the brake. Often, half blocks have either notches or grooves machined into the side to act as wear indicators.
