What are the categories of drum brakes?

[VanClayton]

According to whether the radial forces exerted by the two shoes on the brake drum during braking are balanced, drum brakes expanded by hydraulic wheel cylinders can be divided into three types: simple unbalanced type, balanced type, and self-energizing type. Here is more information about drum brakes: 1. Introduction: Drum brakes use the brake transmission mechanism to press the brake friction lining against the inner side of the brake drum, thereby generating braking force. This allows the wheels to decelerate as needed or stop within the shortest distance to ensure driving safety and reliable parking without automatic slippage. The rotating element of a drum brake is the brake drum, and the fixed element is the brake shoe. They are cost-effective and conform to traditional designs. 2. Composition: The rotating element of a drum brake is the brake drum, and the fixed element is the brake shoe. During braking, the brake shoes rotate outward under the action of the actuating device, pressing the friction lining on their outer surface against the inner cylindrical surface of the brake drum to generate braking friction torque.
