    Drum brake (upper right) with the drum removed (lower left, inside facing up), on the front of a Ford Falcon Sprint A rear drum brake on a Kawasaki W800 motorcycle. A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating bowl-shaped part called a brake drum.

    Many hydraulic disc brakes have a self-adjusting mechanism so as the brake pad wears, the pistons keep the distance from the pad to the disc consistent to maintain the same brake lever throw. Some hydraulic brakes, especially older ones, and most mechanical discs have manual controls to adjust the pad-to-rotor gap.

    Honda RCB with a front ventilated drum brake from Italian accessories manufacturer Grimeca. Drum brakes have a self servo effect. [11] The most common design is a leading-trailing design. More exotic design had four, eight or sixteen shoes. [4] Some motorcycles used finned and/or vented housings for additional cooling, the first of which was ...

    Maladjustment with wear is still a factor in trucks with drum air brakes. [5] A Canadian survey of randomly stopped heavy trucks found over 10% of trucks using self-adjusting brakes had at least one brake out of adjustment, due either to failure of the self-adjust mechanism or wear beyond the capacity of the self adjuster.

  6. S-cam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-cam

    As the S-cam rotates, the two symmetrical brake pads are forced against the brake drum until the pressure is released and the brake pads return to their resting position. [ 3 ] The principle of the S-cam allows the brakes of big vehicles to be more compact and less moving parts, since it only relies on a rotating shaft.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_cylinder

    A wheel cylinder is a component of a hydraulic drum brake system. [1] It is located in each wheel and is usually positioned at the top of the wheel, above the shoes. Its function is to exert force onto the shoes so as to bring them into contact with the drum and stop the vehicle with friction. [2]

  9. Ausco Lambert disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausco_Lambert_disc_brake

    The Ausco-Lambert brake is self-energizing. It holds one ring rigidly and lets the other rotate freely, without a stop. The rotation direction is arranged so the direction of free rotation is the same as the hollow brake "disc". Thus, the disc tends to pull the ring in the direction that further applies the brake.
