brake block
Explanation:
The part of a brake holding the brake shoe
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freno
Numero di ceppi del tamburo [modifica]
Il numero di ceppi per tamburo varia da un minimo di uno ad un massimo di due e a seconda del numero varia la forza impressa al tamburo.

Ceppo semplice:
Questo è il tipo più semplice di freni. Consiste in un piccolo ceppo di forma rudimentale adattato alla parte circolare del tamburo. Collegata al ceppo vi è una leva che, azionata, preme il ceppo contro il tamburo con molta forza.

Ceppo doppio:
Ai due lati del tamburo vengono montati due ceppi rudimentali. La leva agisce simultaneamente su entrambi, questo è il tipo di ceppo che viene utilizzato nel caso si adotti un freno a tamburo, per la maggiore capacità frenante.
