The invention relates to the technical field of drum brake, in particular to a high-strength brake hub for a heavy truck. The brake hub comprises an electromagnetic rotation ring type brake device, during brake, an electromagnetic attraction device pushes a push disc to rotate, multiple brake pieces are pushed to a brake drum at the same time, under the effect of the brake pieces and the brake drum, brake action is achieved, the attaching area of the brake pieces and the brake drum is large, the brake effect is good, and the problem that during traditional drum type braking, the action area ofa brake shoe is small, and the brake effect is not ideal is solved; through control over the current magnitude, torque of a push disc is controlled, the attaching strength of the brake pieces and thebrake drum is controlled, brake strength controllability is finally achieved, control conveying is achieved only through two wires, original parts of a hydraulic pipe, a hydraulic pump and the like are omitted, the advantages of being low in cost, rapid in brake reaction, free of pollution and the like are achieved, and the problem that a traditional brake system adopts oil pressure, the hydraulic cost is high, and the hydraulic oil is leaked to cause pollution is solved.
