Eaton brake wheels (also known as brake drums) are mounted on the hub of the vehicle's wheels. They are used in conjunction with brake shoes to stop the vehicle.
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.
