BRAKE ROTOR AND ABS TONE RING ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY THAT PROMOTES IN PLANE UNIFORM TORQUE TRANSFER DISTRIBUTION

摘要

A brake assembly (10) for use on vehicles includes a rotor (14) having connection tabs (36) and a hub (12) having bobbins (24), integrally formed or separate, with the rotor connection tabs (36) being positioned between the hub bobbins and clamped together with a top plate (64). An ABS tone ring (40) is fastened to the hub and is circumscribed by the rotor (14). Alternatively, an ABS tone ring (40) can be formed as part of the top plate (64). A spring clip (50) can be used with the top plate to accommodate thermal expansion of the rotor (14) and eliminate rotor rattling. Torque is transfened from the brake rotor to the hub (12) in a common plane to prevent twisting in the fastener connection.
