A brake lining bonding apparatus in which brake linings 11 positioned between a loop-like pressure-imposing band 17 and a pair of brake shoes 12 disposed on opposite locations at the inner side of the band are pressure-bonded to the brake shoes by expanding in opposite direction the expand member which is urged by springs 3. The pressure-imposing band is provided with rigid strips 16 at two circumferential locations for positioning itself in a predetermined position and is formed in substantially eliptic shape. The expand member is arranged not to engage either side of the brake shoe rib but merely abuts the ends 12(a), 12(b) of a shoe. Such an arrangement facilitates loading and unloading of the shoes and automation of the process. The apparatus is mounted on skates 10 which enable it to be slid through an automated process irrespective of the width of the linings. Holes 18 are provided in band 17 through which members may pass to engage the circumferential ends of the linings to position them for bonding.
