2. Drum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake

   Drum brakes, like most other brakes, convert kinetic energy into heat by friction. [5] This heat should dissipate into the surrounding air, but can just as easily transfer to other braking system components. Brake drums must be large to cope with the massive forces involved, and must be able to absorb and dissipate a lot of heat.

   Wheel cylinder assembly Wheel cylinder child parts. 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]

   Foundation components are the brake-assembly components at the wheels of a vehicle, named for forming the basis of the rest of the brake system. These mechanical parts contained around the wheels are controlled by the air brake system. The three types of foundation brake systems are “S” cam brakes, disc brakes and wedge brakes. [3]

6. Power brakes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

   A power braking system consists of several distinct components, including the vacuum booster, master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir and lines, and calipers (or drums). Power brakes have been around in some form since the 1920s, and since the late 20th century all cars sold in North America have been equipped with power brakes.

7. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   The brake lining may also become contaminated by oil or leaked brake fluid. Typical symptoms will be brake chatter, where the pads vibrate as the lining grabs and releases the rotor's surface. The solution is to repair and clean the source of the contamination, replace the damaged pads and possibly also have the rotors re-skimmed or replaced if ...
