Abstract

An outer surface 1d of the brake drum 1 has seven thick portions (10B.sub.1 to 10B.sub.7) each having equal mass and separated at an equal distance in the circumferential direction from a reference line which is an arbitrary diameter, six thick portions (10C.sub.1 to 10C.sub.6) each having equal mass and separated at an equal distance in the circumferential direction from the same reference line, five thick portions (10D.sub.1 to 10D.sub.5) each having equal mass and separated at an equal distance in the circumferential direction from the same reference line, and four thick portions (10E.sub.1 to 10E.sub.4) each having equal mass and separated at an equal distance in the circumferential direction from the same reference line. Accordingly, the outer surface (1d) of the brake drum (1) has a plurality of thick portions which can be classified into four groups (10B.sub.1 to 10B.sub.7, 10C.sub.1 to 10C.sub.6, 10D.sub.1 to 10D.sub.5, and 10E.sub.1 to 10E.sub.4), each group having equal mass. The thick portions in respective groups are arranged at an equal distance in the circumferential direction.
