Drum Brakes

A drum brake operates by utilising the friction generated when a set of shoes or pads exert pressure outwards against a rotating, cylinder-shaped component known as a brake drum. The term “drum brake” typically refers to a braking mechanism in which the shoes apply pressure to the inner surface of the drum.
