ROTOR DISK SUPPORT FOR A FULL CONTACT ANNULAR DISK BRAKE ASSEMBLY

摘要

The full contact annular disk brake assembly (10) comprises a hub (12) to be journaled on an axle of a vehicle. An annular rotor disk (20) is mounted around an interior section of the hub (12), the rotor disk (20) being in a sliding and torque-transmitting engagement with the hub (12). The rotor disk (20) is coaxially connected to an annular support (22) which provides the sliding and torque-transmitting engagement with the hub (12). The presence of the annular support (22) allows, among other things, to enhance the performances of the brake assembly (10), increases the precision of the movement of the rotor disk (20) and in some designs, increase the braking capacity.
