YOGYAKARTA - Tromol brakes are one of the important elements in vehicles, both motorbikes and cars. Tromol brakes play a role in the braking system to stop or slow down the speed of the car. There are several components of the tromol brakes to help operate more optimally.

The automaker puts the tromol brakes on the rear tire of the car. The presence of the tromol brakes serves to help brake the back of the car. The tromol brakes are still used for two types of cars, namely MPV cars and hatchbacks.

Tromol brakes play a very important role when motorists do compresses during several conditions, such as parking a car, approaching a crossroads, passing through derivatives and inclines. The existence of a tromol brake helps car drivers avoid various accidents that can happen.

Every car owner should know the tromol brake component. The tromol brake has 9 components, as follows.

Backing plaque is a tromol brake component shaped like a large metal disk and there are holes, curves, or bulges on its surface. This component is made of thin metal material. The function of the backing plate is as a house, frame, or protector of other components.

The brake shoes are shaped like a circle with two holes shaped after the circle. Brake shoes and tariffs are interrelated components in braking work. Brake shoes become a storage container for axles. Brake shoes are not directly related to the tromol brakes.

Brake Campas is made of organic ceramic material that is easy to change shape. Brake camp will run low when used for a long time or continuously. Vehicle users need to change the brake camp regularly when it is running low.

Wheelcylinders function to convert fluid pressure into mechanical motion. Wheelcylinders consist of several types, but the most popular ones used for the work of leadership and trailing tropical types are cylindrical types of dual-wheeled pistons. The work of the cylindrical wheels is supported by several other parts, namely the piston boot, wheel cylinder housing, piston, and spring.

This component is located at the bottom of the tromol brake. The shape resembles the screen on the adjuster section. The brake shoe adjuster serves to regulate or tune the gap arising between the brake camp and the surface of the thromol that works when the brake pedal is pressed or pulled.

Return spring serves to return the tromol brake shoes to their original position. This component works when the position of the brake shoes changes due to the pressing style of the brake pedal. The return brakes consist of two components, namely lower spring and upper spring which have different roles.

Lower spring is on the adjuster side and plays a role in maintaining the position of 2 tromol brake shoes so that they can press the adjuster optimally. While the upper spring or spring veranda is on the part that the cylindrical wheels are. Upper spring functions to restore the position of the brake shoes.

The brake shoe holder serves to lock the spring or stick to the backing plate. This component is shaped like a pin consisting of several parts.

Parking brake liver is needed to keep the car quiet when it's parked. Parking brake liver consists of two components, namely a brake shoe link and a park brake lease. On the brake liver there is one end that is pinned with a hinge and connected directly to the brake shoe located at the top. While the brake shoe link will work to connect the brake shoe and park brake lease.

Drum Brake has a hard physical texture in the shape of a tube or drum. This component is made of tung steel material. The function of the brake drum is as a medium of friction for the tromol brakes when stopping the spin or wheel speed.

Drum brake serves to connect brake levers or pedals to parking brake levers, so that when the brakes are pulled or pressed, the car can stop perfectly. This component is a cable on the tromol brake system made of steel.

That's a review of the car brake tromol component. The car owner needs to understand the various lists of tromol brake components as a safe driving tip knowledge. The tromol brakes have an important function in the car braking system to stop or accelerate the speed of wheels.
