Wikipedia

  1. Drum brake

    A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating cylinder-shaped part called a brake drum. The term drum brake usually means a brake in which shoes press on the inner surface of the drum. When shoes press on the outside of the drum, it is usually called a clasp brake. Where the drum is pinched between two shoes, similar to a conventional disc brake, it is sometimes called a pinch drum brake, though such brakes are relatively rare. A related type called a band brake uses a flexible belt or "band" wrapping around the outside of a drum.

  1. drum brake

    A drum brake is a type of automotive brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press against a rotating drum-shaped part called a brake drum. The mechanism is typically used in older vehicle models and is located on the rear wheels. Drum brakes are known for their reliability, simplistic design, and effective braking which makes them perfect for vehicles that do not require excessive stopping power. They are called drum brakes due to the hollow drum-like structure that rotates with the wheel.
