What is Break Block?

A brake block is a component of a braking system that creates friction against a rotating surface, such as a drum or disc, to slow down or stop the motion. Typically made from materials like cast iron or composite materials, it presses against the drum or disc when the brake is applied, generating the necessary friction to reduce the vehicle's speed.
