The assembly comprises several critical parts designed to handle high heat and mechanical stress:
Arced metal structures with bonded or riveted friction material . brake drum
These pull the shoes back to their original position once the brake pedal is released. Operational Requirements The assembly comprises several critical parts designed to
Usually made of Grey Cast Iron for its excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Modern high-performance variants may use Aluminum Alloys or Metal Matrix Composites to reduce weight. Modern high-performance variants may use Aluminum Alloys or
The actuator that converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to move the shoes.
