Working Mechanism

  • Eaton brake wheels use brake shoes to press against the insides of a drum to create friction and slow the vehicle.
  • When the driver presses the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake calliper, pushing the brake shoes outward against the insides of the brake drum.
  • The friction between the brake shoes and the brake drum slows the rotation of the wheel and slows down the vehicle.

Standards and Approvals

  • UL
