What Are Brake Drum Sytem Parts And How Does It Work
The drum brake system is the brake mechanism used on the rear wheels of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles and heavy vehicles. The brake mechanism is fixed, the drum rotates with the Wheel. When the brake pedal is pressed, pressurized hydraulic brake fluid opens the pistons (right-left) in the wheel brake cylinder located on the brake plate, pushing the brake shoes towards the drum. The brake pads on the outer surface of the shoes create the braking effect by rubbing against the inner surface of the drum.
