Drum brake anchors are typically made from durable materials such as cast iron or heavy-duty steel to withstand the immense forces exerted during braking. Their design is engineered to endure heat generated from friction when brakes are applied. Over time, the heat can cause wear on various components involved in the braking system, but a well-designed anchor helps mitigate some of these effects by maintaining stability and strength.

The wheel cylinder is central to the operation of drum brakes. It contains two pistons—one for each brake shoe. As hydraulic fluid enters the expanded wheel cylinder, it pushes the pistons outward, causing the shoes to press against the drum. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for diagnosing problems; if one side of the cylinder fails, it can lead to uneven braking and potential safety hazards.
