Caterpillar 912617100 Brake Shoe

Caterpillar 912617100 Brake Shoe is a Caterpillar replacement wear part for the machine’s braking system. A brake shoe provides the friction surface that engages with the brake drum to slow and stop rotation, converting kinetic energy into heat to achieve controlled deceleration. This part is identified by Caterpillar part number 912617100, which helps ensure you are ordering an exact replacement within Caterpillar’s official parts catalog and distributor network. Because brake shoes are wear items, they are typically inspected during preventive maintenance and replaced when the friction lining shows wear or damage, helping maintain consistent braking performance on equipment that uses Caterpillar braking components. Typically, brake shoes include a metal backing plate with a bonded friction lining, and the 912617100 designation supports accurate inventory management and reduces the risk of mismatched friction surfaces in the machine’s braking system.
