dobfékekkel

The Hungarian term "dobfékekkel" translates to "with drum brakes" in English. It refers to a type of braking system commonly found in older vehicles or as a rear brake on some modern cars. Drum brakes consist of a cylindrical drum that rotates with the wheel. Inside this drum are brake shoes, which are curved pieces of metal lined with friction material. When the brakes are applied, the shoes are forced outwards against the inner surface of the drum, creating friction that slows down and stops the wheel.

The mechanism for applying drum brakes can vary, but it typically involves hydraulic fluid pressure or a mechanical linkage that pushes the brake shoes. This outward force creates the necessary friction to retard the wheel's rotation. Compared to disc brakes, drum brakes are generally considered less efficient, especially under heavy use or in wet conditions, as the heat generated during braking can cause them to fade. However, they are often simpler in construction and can be more cost-effective to manufacture. In some applications, drum brakes are preferred for their ability to generate significant braking force with relatively low pedal pressure and their self-energizing effect, where the rotation of the drum helps to push the shoes harder against it.
