    摘要: A brake caliper is provided with a timing and retraction controller, a brake pad and a lock-connection comprising an engaging component and a locking component. The timing and retraction controller adjusts brake timing, eliminates parasitic brake losses and dampens out-of-plane vibration between the brake pad and rotor. The brake caliper includes a housing disposed over a brake rotor; first and second opposing brake pads extendably and retractably mounted on opposite sides of the caliper housing, brake pistons that extend and retract the brake pads into and out of frictional engagement with the rotor, and brake pad timing and retraction controllers disposed on opposite sides of the caliper housing. Each controller includes a Belleville spring or other resilient member with a short compression travel limited to between about 1.50 mm and 0.025 mm. The short stroke Belleville spring of each controller applies a hold-off force against the extension force of the brake pistons that slightly delays brake pad extension and slightly reduces brake pad clamping force against the rotor, thereby advantageously providing a front wheel braking bias when applied to the rear wheels of a vehicle. The restorative force applied by the short stroke Belleville forcefully and uniformly retracts the brake pad from the rotor, eliminating parasitic brake losses, and dampening out-of-plane vibration between the brake pad and rotor.

    摘要: A disc brake assembly includes a rotor (12) with an ABS tone ring insert (26) assembly that functions as a rotation indicator in an anti-lock braking system. The insert is positioned in the hat (18) of a rotor disc in a spaced relationship and is mounted to the mounting flange (20) of the rotor disc. Forming the ring insert separately from the rotor disc also allows different coating materials to be used on the tone ring that may be more heat resistant. The ring insert assembly can be made of powder metal or made as a cast iron cylinder with a toothed cap made of powder metal having a corrosion resistant coating. Cost savings can be realized along with high performance when only a portion of the assembly if made of powder metal and coated.

    摘要: A floating disc brake assembly having a disc brake rotor secured to a mounting assembly, such as a hat or a hat with a retention ring structured and arranged to fit within retention ring flanges of a plurality of rotor mounting tabs uniformly distributed about the mounting assembly. A method of uniformly transferring braking forces from a rotor of a brake assembly about a wheel hat component of the brake assembly and a kit of parts are also provided.
