The Shoe Hold Down Cup is a small stamped metal cup used in drum brakes. It sits on the brake shoe web, the flat metal part that connects the lining to the backing plate. A spring-loaded pin fits through the backing plate, shoe web, and the center of the cup. The cup captures the spring and keeps it positioned against the shoe web. It is made up of strong and durable material, such as steel, to ensure strength and withstand high operating conditions.

Attributes:
• Securely holds the return spring in place, ensuring proper tension on the brake shoe
• Has high strength and wear resistance

Applications:
The Shoe Hold Down Cup secures the brake shoe to the backing plate in a drum brake unit. It creates a spring-loaded connection that allows for slight movement of the shoe during braking while maintaining proper positioning.
