Drum brake application
Where the wheel cylinder sits in the brake
It is the link between hydraulic pressure and the shoes. Here is the sequence, from pedal to drum.
Brake pedal
The driver presses the pedal.
Master cylinder and brake line
Pedal force becomes hydraulic pressure that travels along the brake line.
Wheel cylinder
Pressure pushes its pistons outward inside each drum brake.
WUJIE makes this part
Brake shoes
The pistons press the shoes against the inside of the drum.
Brake drum
Friction between shoes and drum slows the wheel.
