What are the advantages of drum brakes disc brakes?
It amazes me that some cars and trucks still come with drum brakes Back in this day and age. I guess they are cheaper, but they also have other advantages over disc brakes?
One of the reasons why they have disc brakes at each wheel is "cost" and "inventory management" costs (fewer parts handled at the store, a smaller number of automaker's suppliers). Here are some considerations to argue for drum brakes: 1. Drum brakes are smaller than the same force braking. One advantage of the design in a confined space. In fact "is very easy to set up a drum handbrake inside a disc brake so that one unit serves both foot brake and parking brake. "2. Provide" self-management characteristics "(a kind of positive feedback amplification of force braking). That is, against the brake disc brakes drum usually do not NOT need the assistance of the servos. 3. "The drum brakes are used frequently hand brake, and which has proved very difficult to design a disc brake suitable for holding a car when not in use. "- Everything else, Please see the link!
