Brake system of a drum brake

A brake system of a drum brake, comprising:

• a carrier unit;
• a brake cylinder;
• a connecting element having a first connection section fixed to the brake cylinder and a second connection section fixed to the carrier unit;
• wherein the first connection section is arranged offset to the second connection section while being parallel relative to a wheel axis;
• wherein the first connection section is configured to be fixed directly to the brake cylinder in order to keep a distance between the center of gravity of the brake cylinder and the first connection section low;
• wherein a distance of the center of gravity of the brake cylinder to the first connection section is in a relationship of from about 0.3 to about 0.7 to a distance of the center of gravity of the brake cylinder to the second connection section;
• and
• wherein between the first connection section and the brake cylinder there is a damping element that reduces the transmission of shocks and vibrations from the connecting element to the brake cylinder and vice versa.
