Mechanical Drum Brakes

Mechanical drum brakes are used for applications where simplicity and robust components are required. The most popular method of operation is using cables. Reference to mechanical centre pull requires steel brake rods to be supplied and when fitted to an axle a load equalizer mechanism must be used.
