2. Drum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake

   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.

3. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc brakes. Loss of stopping power, or fade, can be caused by friction fade, mechanical fade, or fluid fade.

4. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   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 ...

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. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   Frictional brakes are most common and can be divided broadly into "shoe" or "pad" brakes, using an explicit wear surface, and hydrodynamic brakes, such as parachutes, which use friction in a working fluid and do not explicitly wear. Typically the term "friction brake" is used to mean pad/shoe brakes and excludes hydrodynamic brakes, even though ...

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 ...
