Duo-servo type drum brakes are an improved version of twin leading construction, where two brake shoes are linked. When a primary side leading shoe is pressed against the drum by the wheel cylinder, the force that makes it rotate together with the drum wedges the secondary side leading shoe into the drum to achieve braking action. This type of drum brake provides strong braking for both forward and reverse movement. It is used in commercial vehicles that require especially large braking forces.
Duo-servo and Leading-trailing
A duo-servo drum brake system is a type of drum brake design that enhances braking efficiency by using two brake shoes that engage the drum in such a way that they assist each other during braking. When the brakes are applied, the leading shoe rotates in the direction of the wheel, which pulls the trailing shoe into greater contact with the drum, increasing the braking force. This design is commonly found in rear drum brakes of vehicles, providing better stopping power and reduced stopping distances compared to single-servo systems. The duo-servo mechanism is particularly effective during hard braking situations.
They are either servo type or non servo type, they can't be both types.
When the brake cylinder pushes the two shoes apart, the leading shoe "wraps" with the rotating drum. This wrapping pushes the trailing shoe through the transfer bar into tighter contact with the drum providing the servo action.Notice that your leading shoe nearly always has more brake lining than the trailing shoe and also notice that it requires more pedal effort to stop a car with drum brakes when it is going in reverse than it does when the car is moving the same speed in the forward direction.
Servo brakes x2
A brake servo is a servo that is used for brakes That's all folks
why are air brakes considered non-servo
It depends on where the shoe anchor pin and the threaded star adjustment rod is located. If the shoe anchor is located at the top of the backing plate with the adjustment rod at the bottom between the two shoes than it is duo-servo. If the adjustment rod is located at the top between the two shoes and the anchor pin is at the bottom of the backing plate then it is a leading/trailing type drum brake system.
There is a device that works with your brakes to help the brakes,it is a servo pump that has gone out on your car. Mine went out too but I am strong so I just use the brakes without the servo pump.
