This Brake Drum is used in various applications where reliable braking performance is essential. It measures 100.0 x 255.0 x 255.0 mm and is manufactured by
Delphi under the MPN BF427. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions.
Brake drums are hollow cylindrical components utilized in drum brake systems, primarily on older vehicles or rear axles. They house the brake shoes and provide a surface against which the shoes create friction to decelerate the vehicle. Constructed from cast iron or composite materials, drums feature a machined inner surface to ensure consistent friction and heat dissipation. Internal ribbing and finning are common design elements to enhance cooling. Variations include self-energizing and duo-servo designs influencing braking force characteristics.
