Brake drum
The brake drum is an important component of the drum brake. It is usually made of sheet steel or gray cast iron, as it is subjected to heavy loads. During the braking process, strong mechanical forces and high friction occur, which heat up the sheet metal considerably. The sheet metal dissipates the heat immediately, so that the brake drum does not get so hot. If the temperature rises too much, the braking effect is reduced due to the heat generated. Due to the high mechanical stress, the brake drum must be replaced immediately in the event of a defect.
Quality is important for a brake drum, which is why you will only find branded goods from well-known manufacturers such as Knott in the ALGEMA FIT-ZEL online store. In addition, there are brake hubs as important accessories, also from the company Knott. For all products is indicated for which vehicle transporter the brake drum is suitable.
