Design and Structure
- Drum Configuration: It features a robust drum - shaped braking surface. The drum is typically made of high - quality cast iron or steel, which provides excellent wear resistance and heat dissipation capabilities. This ensures that the brake can withstand high - stress braking operations over an extended period without significant degradation in performance.
- Solenoid Actuation: The brake is actuated by a solenoid. The solenoid is an electromechanical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical force. When an electrical current is applied to the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field that attracts an armature. This movement of the armature is then translated into the braking action, either by pressing brake shoes against the drum or releasing them, depending on the design.
- Brake Shoes: The TJ2 - 100/100 is equipped with specially designed brake shoes. These shoes are lined with a friction material that has high friction coefficients and good heat - resistance properties. The shoes are precisely positioned within the brake assembly to ensure even contact with the drum during braking, which helps in achieving smooth and consistent braking performance.
