What is the difference between drum brakes and disc brakes?
1 Answers
Here is an introduction to the differences between drum brakes and disc brakes: Drum Brakes: "Drum brakes" are a type of hub brake. Generally, a drum brake system consists of rotating parts, fixed parts, actuating parts, and a positioning adjustment device. It includes components such as the brake backing plate, brake wheel cylinder, brake shoes, related linkages, springs, pins, and the brake drum. Currently, they are primarily used on rear wheels. Disc Brakes: Disc brakes consist of a brake disc connected to the wheel and a brake caliper at the edge of the disc. When braking, high-pressure brake fluid pushes the brake pads to clamp the disc, thereby generating the braking effect.
