Braking System Basics

Disc and drum brakes are based on a hydraulic pressure system. Braking starts with a mechanical force — your foot pressing the brake pedal. The end result is that your vehicle safely stops. Below is a quick explanation of the five points of the system.

A piston compresses brake fluid inside the master cylinder located under your vehicle’s hood near your engine. This creates hydraulic pressure, generating a much bigger force than that of the small effort of pressing down on the pedal. See above image.

The pressure is transferred via the brake fluid through the brake lines and/or brake hoses (flexible tubes) that connect the lines with brake assemblies at each wheel.

There, wheel cylinders convert that hydraulic pressure back to mechanical force. Brake friction material is pushed against the brake disc or drum, slowing or stopping your vehicle.

The disc brake assembly is designed to safely stop your car when activated. More details about how this works below.

The drum brake assembly, equipped on some vehicles, is also designed to stop your vehicle when other points on the system are activated. More details below.

Basics of Drum Brakes

Drum brakes are most often used on the rear axle of today’s vehicles. They are also very common on trailers. Manufacturers don’t use brake pads as the friction material in drum brakes. Instead, a drum brake system has a wheel cylinder with pistons that push brake shoes out against the inside of a spinning drum. This contact slows and stops the rotation of the brake drum and the wheel, bringing your vehicle to a stop.

Drum vs. Disc Brakes

Many of today’s vehicles have disc brakes on all four wheels. However, some models still have disc brakes on the front axle and drum brakes on the rear.

Why are discs put on the front? It’s due to weight factors. A typical, unloaded vehicle is about 10 percent heavier in front due to the engine. When you hit the brakes, the weight of the car transfers to the front. Therefore, more braking power is needed in the front, making disc brakes the perfect option for the job.
