Drum Brakes

Leading Trailing Brake With Parking Facility

The leading trailing brake is suitable for all applications where high degrees of stability and consistent brake performance are required. It includes an effective parking brake facility and is ABS compatible.

A double-ended wheel cylinder attached to the back plate reacting through a fixed abutment actuates the brake shoes. Automatic adjustment for wear is a built in feature, but manual adjustment can also be provided.

The mechanical parking facility offers a choice of forward or cross axle pull actuated by the handbrake lever.

  • Ease of installation and service
  • Low maintenance
  • High stability
  • Non asbestos linings
  • Efficient park brake
  • Vacuum bleed compatible
  • ABS compatible

Duo Servo Brake With Parking Facility

These brakes offer greater braking performance within a limited installation envelope, whilst maintaining an effective parking brake facility. This type of brake is particularly suitable for rear axle applications where vacuum servo assist availability is restricted.

The brake shoes are actuated by a double-ended wheel cylinder attached to the back plate reacting through a fully floating abutment, which generates a self-servo effect. Adjustment is achieved either manually or automatically.

The mechanical parking facility offers a choice of forward or cross axle pull actuated by the handbrake lever.

  • High brake factor
  • Ease of installation and service
  • Compact installation
  • Low maintenance
  • Non asbestos linings
  • Integral park brake
  • Vacuum bleed compatible

Transmission Mechanical Brake

The transmission-mounted brake gives a mechanical parking brake facility within the vehicle's drive train. Used in conjunction with disc/disc foundation brake systems if provides an effective parking brake for multi terrain 4x4 vehicles where the adhesion of all 4 wheels can be utilised to park the vehicle. Actuation is by means of a simple cable system, which enables it to be used in complex installations.

Careful attention to detailed design of this brake enables it to cope with the high speed dynamic application required for residual braking.

  • Durable/robust construction
  • Allows the operation of four wheel parking
  • Optimum installation
