    The transmission brake is the yellow drum, to the right rear of the transfer box. A transmission brake or driveline parking brake is an inboard vehicle brake that is applied to the drivetrain rather than to the wheels.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-cam

    S-cam's are only used with drum brakes because the cam pushes on the brakes which rubs against the rotating drum, and thus slowing the vehicle. [2] Drum brakes are favored on bigger vehicles because they allow more surface area in brake pads to get a heavier load slowed down more efficiently.

  5. Wheel cylinder - Wikipedia

    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]

  6. Line lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_lock

    For parking using the brakes on all four wheels, two valves may be necessary. Any leakage at the brake cylinders will reduce pressure in the line and release the brakes. For this reason, line locks should only be used temporarily. [6] Parking brakes using disc brakes do not have the same issues as drum brakes, but a vehicle needing parking ...

  7. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    When the driver pushes the brake pedal with his/her foot, the pistons inside the cylinder will activate. The activation of this piston will allow two brake shoes located within the drum of the brake to expand, thus generating friction to slow down and stop the wheel. Usually, this brake is located in the rear wheels of the vehicle, while the ...

  9. Brake lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

    The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.
