The brake chamber extends a rod out when the brakes are applied. This causes the S-cam to turn. The brake shoes are seated on the S-cam with rollers which roll along the countour of the S-cam as it rotates. When they reach a high point on the S-cam, they are pressed against the brake drums. This causes friction, which brings the vehicle to a stop.
