Today we will look at drum brakes and highlight their advantages, but we will also mention their disadvantages and take a closer look at how they work. With a drum brake, the braking force acts on the inner surface of the body (brake drum), which is firmly connected to the wheel hub.

During braking, the brake shoes are pressed by jaws on the inner surface of the drum, where friction is created, and thus the braking force is created.

A braking system is a vital component of any vehicle. It is responsible for slowing down or stopping a moving vehicle. The braking system is composed of several parts that work together to create the necessary force to stop the vehicle.

This article will shed light on the braking system, define its functions, and how it works.
