Una de las características más destacadas del tambor 2983C es su material de fabricación. Generalmente, se elabora con hierro fundido, lo que proporciona una excelente resistencia a la corrosión y al desgaste. Esto es crucial en condiciones adversas, como áreas con alta humedad o sal en las carreteras, donde los frenos pueden deteriorarse rápidamente. Además, su diseño facilita el mantenimiento, ya que permite un acceso sencillo para la inspección y reemplazo de componentes.
Drum brakes have been a part of vehicles since the early 20th century, known for their effectiveness in slowing down and stopping cars. The design includes a hollow drum that rotates with the wheel, while brake shoes inside the drum press against its inner surface to create friction. This system has long been appreciated for its simplicity and reliability. However, the need for improved performance, especially in high-speed and sports models, led to a quest for innovation.
At the core of a drum brake system, three main components come into play the brake drum, brake shoes, and the wheel cylinder. The brake drum, typically made from cast iron, resembles a cylindrical shell that rotates with the wheel. Inside the drum are the brake shoes, which are curved friction pads equipped with a friction material. The wheel cylinder, located inside the drum, contains pistons that are activated when the driver applies the brake pedal.
