(1).Single Acting Drum Type Braking –In this type of braking single
wheel or a single pair of wheels gets the braking force.
(2).Double Acting Drum Type Braking- In double acting hydraulic
brake the high pressure brake fluid from the master cylinder is
distributed in 2 directions i.e. both the wheels in bikes and all
wheels in cars due to the use of tandem master.
Advantages:-
Equal braking action on all wheels.
Increased braking forces.
Less wear due to absence of joints.
Increased mechanical advantage.
Better stopping power than other brakes.
Disadvantages:-
Whole braking system fails due to leakage of fluid from brake
linings.
Complex construction.
More maintenance required than other system.
Applications:
Automotive Brake: The hydraulic braking system is used in cars,
bikes, mini trucks, buses, etc.
