    Definition brake used in heavy vehicles such as trucks and wheeled machinery, consists of a shaft, usually around 4 to 25 inches long, turned at one end by means of an air-powered brake booster and lever with an 'S' shaped cam at the wheel end, which in turn pushes the brake shoes against the drum, thereby producing friction Reference "COM-EN, based on:Wikipedia > S-cam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-cam [26.4.2013]"
