The drum, also known as the brake drum, is a vital component of the braking system in commercial trucks. It is a circular metal component that is attached to the wheel hub and rotates along with the wheel. When the driver applies the brakes, the brake shoes press against the inner surface of the drum, creating friction and slowing down the vehicle. The drum is an essential part of the braking system, as it helps to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy, which is then dissipated into the surrounding air. This process helps to slow down the vehicle and bring it to a stop. The drum is made of high-quality materials that can withstand the high temperatures generated during braking. It is important to regularly inspect and maintain the drum to ensure that it is in good working condition and can provide reliable stopping power when needed.
