The wheel cylinder is a component of a drum brake system, typically attached to the brake backing plate. It is situated inside the brake drum and is responsible for pushing the brake shoes outward against the drum when hydraulic pressure is applied. This action creates friction, slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Each wheel cylinder generally serves one wheel and operates in tandem with the other components of the braking system.
