Shoe Type Brake

A shoe type brake, also known as a drum brake, is a type of braking system commonly used in vehicles. It consists of a rotating drum attached to the wheel, and inside the drum are two curved brake shoes. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake shoes, causing them to press against the inner surface of the drum. This friction between the shoes and the drum slows down or stops the rotation of the wheel, thus providing braking force. Shoe type brakes are commonly found in the rear wheels of many vehicles, while disc brakes are often used in the front wheels for better stopping power.
