Can drums replace disc brakes?

A few years ago, motoring was celebrating the evolution of braking systems, with the conversion from drums to disc brakes.

In particular, we see several samples which make us believe that the tambourines will return to our lives, and maybe they will dominate.

Electrification is the cause

Electrification will be responsible because in these models we see a shift towards the tambourine. They are already in circulation electric cars that have a drum on the rear axle and not the disc brakes we were used to. We also do not rule out seeing models that will have large drums on the front axle as well.  

A little maintenance on the drums

Unlike disc brakes, tambourines do not have the same maintenance needs. In particular, the only maintenance that should be done in every major service is to clean the friction material with a special spray. The jaws have up to 3 times longer lifespan than the pads on the discs.

They pollute less

Within the general pressure of the EU, now it's the braking system's turn of the cars. Their aim is to reduce the microparticles created during braking, which are quite harmful. Industries know that they will have to find new "green" solutions, and some tests have already started. First Continental to equip a VW Golf 7 with large dimension on the front axle of the electric ID.3. Thus he points out that the results are similar to disc brakes.

Instead of an epilogue

Spare parts are the most important part of your truck. At the same time, the choice of spare parts, used or new, genuine or commercial, must be properly researched. In summary, our store has a variety of truck parts (tractors) and trailers (cabins-refrigerators-curtains-parapets-tippers-containers) Schmitz Cargobull – Scania – Volvo – DAF
