MFT Trommelbremssystem.

The Drum Brake Unit, "MFT", allows the study of the forces acting on a drum brake, the difference between the braking torque of the primary shoe and secondary shoe braking systems and determining the coefficient of friction between the drum and the brake shoe, also with the equipment the different types of configurations of existing shoes can be studied.

With the four pins the shoes will be fixed determining the desired configuration of these.

Attached to the drum is a cable with one end towards each side of the drum in which the direction of rotation of the drum will be determined. If the charge is placed to the right, the drum will turn clockwise, if on the contrary the charge is placed to the left of the drum, the drum will turn anti-clockwise.

Applying load to the shoes will determine the force to be performed to brake the drum in different situations.
