The drum-type brake mechanism

On the front-wheel models Audi 80 which have been let out till October of 92 (not equipped ABS), on the back bridge there are drum-type brake mechanisms. On this version of the brake mechanism two brake Pads nestle on an internal surface of a drum the piston of the brake cylinder (it is located between the top ends brake колодок). Thanks to an arrangement brake колодок in applied in Audi 80 drum-type brake mechanism (brake mechanism Simplex – one brake cylinder with two pistons) one of two brake колодок operates in the self-amplifying image. It means that this brake колодка because of wheel rotation nestles on a brake drum in certain limits spontaneously that reduces effort to pedals. In Audi 80 (at advance) operates spontaneously forward brake колодка. On a slang of experts it is called as primary колодкой or active brake колодкой. Back is called according to secondary колодкой or as passive brake колодкой.

The self-regulated drum-type brake mechanism

Drum-type brake mechanisms should not be regulated. This problem has incurred, in отличае from disk brake mechanisms, the adjusting mechanics. With increasing deterioration of a frictional covering rods of cylinders between brake колодками are put forward, that Pads again could nestle on a drum. It is provided with a wedge with a spring drive which in process of deterioration колодок puts forward rods.
