摘要:
A disc brake rotor has a support hub and coaxial braking band. The support hub has a plurality of radial seats and the braking band has a plurality of connecting elements which transfer torque between the band and the hub. The connecting elements are integral and made as one piece with the braking band and extend from the braking band in order to engage the corresponding radial seats. The connecting elements are surrounded by walls which are integral and made as one piece with the support hub such as to be fastened in the axial direction and in the tangential direction, but capable of sliding in the radial direction.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a friction damped disc brake rotor, including the steps of: (A) providing a ceramic coating on an insert, wherein the insert has a body with tabs extending therefrom to hold the insert in a desired position within a mold; (B) washing the ceramic coating off of the tabs; (C) positioning the insert into the mold; and (D) casting a rotor cheek of the disc brake rotor in the mold around the insert such that a portion of each tab is bonded with the rotor cheek, and such that the coating is substantially non-bonded with the rotor cheek so that the coating provides a proper interfacial boundary between the body and the cheek for damping, and the at least partial bonding of each tab with the rotor cheek prevents corrosion-causing exterior elements from reaching the interfacial boundary when the friction damped disc brake rotor is in use.

A method of assembly and manufacture of a brake rotor, comprising providing a brake rotor mold. The method also includes pouring brake rotor material into the brake rotor mold. Then the method includes rotating the brake rotor mold during hardening of the brake rotor material thereby forming a brake rotor. The method further includes removing an interior portion of the hardened brake rotor material of the brake rotor with a water jet cutting device. The water jet device shapes the brake rotor to a desired shape. The brake rotor is then heat and cryogenically treated.

The present invention relates to a disc for a disc brake comprising a support bell and braking band being coaxial with each other. The support bell has a plurality of radial housings and the braking band has a plurality of connecting elements suitable to connect it to the bell. The connecting elements are integral and made as one piece with said braking band and overhang from the braking band in order to engage the corresponding radial housings. The connecting elements are at least partially surrounded by walls being integral and made as one piece with the support bell such as to be fastened in the axial direction and in the tangential direction and such as to be capable of sliding in the radial direction.

A backing plate for a friction assembly includes a body having a first surface and a second surface and a thickness defined therebetween. One or more retention members are provided on the first surface for engaging a friction material mounted thereon. Each retention member has an extruded protrusion and an groove. The extruded protrusion has a generally constant width and a free curved distal end. The groove has a bottom wall having an inclined section and a flat section.

A method is provided for sizing a brake system for an automobile using a processor. The method comprises gathering characteristics of the automobile and then calculating a maximum rotor size based the characteristics. Next, a specific torque required to skid the automobile at a selected deceleration is calculated for the brake system at driver only weight, and then a final brake caliper is selected based on the specific torque requirement and maximum brake rotor size. Finally, the selected rotor and brake caliper is evaluated to determine if thermal dissipation requirements for city driving conditions are met.
