FLOATING LINING HIGH TORQUE BRAKE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A drum type brake with an internal expanding shoe. The brake lining is positioned between the shoe and the drum but is not bonded or secured as it floats in place. The lining extends nearly the full circle of the drum. Guides are provided to control the position of the shoe with respect to the lining. It is possible with this design to get excellent self-energizing effects without locking.
