Make caravan maintenance quick and easy! Genuine Couplemate™ 10″ Brake Drums with Japanese NSK bearings pre-greased and installed.

Quality brake drums are crucial for caravans because they play a significant role in stopping the caravan safely and efficiently. Due to the added weight and momentum, the brakes are under considerable stress when towing a caravan. The brake drums must withstand high temperatures, extreme pressure, and constant wear and tear.
These brake drums are commonly used for 10-inch electric backing plates but also suit 10-inch mechanical backing plates and 10-inch hydraulic backing plates.

What makes Low-Quality Drums Dangerous?
A few years ago, Couplemate™ was worried about the increasing loss of quality and complaints from imported drums. We decided to make a better 10-inch drum brake to ensure electric brake drums were first-class and we could own a quality product.
Low-quality or worn brake drums can cause a range of problems, including:
- Reduced stopping power
- Increased stopping distances
- Excessive heat buildup
- Complete brake failure
This can be extremely dangerous, particularly when driving on steep or winding roads. This can result in costly repairs and replacements and potential safety hazards.
What makes Couplemate™ 10-inch Electric Brake Drums Superior?
By investing in high-quality brake drums that are specifically designed for caravans and other towing applications, you can ensure that your braking system is reliable and effective.
Quality brake drums will provide consistent stopping power, reduce the risk of overheating, and ultimately help to keep you and your passengers safe while on the road.
Our engineers discovered and discussed porosity as a significant cause of braking inefficiencies. Porosity is a series of holes in a casting that causes lower brake shoe adhesion. A porous surface will have less braking resistance than a non-porous surface.
The best way to explain how to remove air from steel is to understand how air is expelled from concrete. Shaking or vibrating the tooling containing a drum casting effectively removes air bubbles, significantly reducing porosity.
Further, during the machining process, our craftsman looks for a sign of porosity.
As a result, the drums you have purchased have undergone rigorous testing and inspecting processes.
Today, we sell Australian-made 10-inch brake drums to the RV markets and retail consumption.
