Types:
There are of two types drum brakes and disk brakes.

The insides of the drum brakes are made up of metal shoes. The brakes are fitted in the form of a drum within the wheel and when the brake is applied the cylinder pushes the shoes out. This friction either slows down or stops the vehicle.

Disk brakes work with a disk or a rotor fitted inside the wheel. The brake pads are held with the help of a caliper on each of the disk and are squeezed against the rotor by the caliper as brakes are applied. The parts move due to the pressure from the fluid.
