Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an actuation system for drum brakes of vehicles, in particular for commercial vehicles or agricultural machines. Background technique
[0002] Such devices are known in the prior art. For example, DE 40 35 943 A1 discloses a drum brake whose brake linings are arranged in such a way that they are pivotable on one side and on the other side they are directed towards the inner side of the drum by means of an S-shaped cam. Move around. Due to this asymmetrical actuation, the problem with such actuation systems is that a force balance cannot be ensured, especially with regard to wear on the linings, deformation of the brake drum during braking and influences due to the manufacturing process. Moreover, such brake actuation systems for drum brakes are designed to be very complex, and in addition, due to the non-linear characteristics in the braking process, the braking efficiency depends on each operating point, so they are difficul...
