ROTOR DISK ASSEMBLY FOR FULL CONTACT BRAKE

摘要

A rotor disk (10) assembly for a full contact disk brake assembly comprising a radially extending annular rotor disk (12, 110) having parallel continuous friction surfaces (20, 22, 112, 114) in radial planes and a hub adapter (14, 118) mounted to a wheel of the vehicle. The hub adapter (14, 118) has an annular rim (28, 128) in a radial plane and a cylindrical portion (30, 119) extending parallel to an axis of rotation of the wheel. Nuts and bolts (38, 46, 132, 134) mount the rim (28, 128) of the hub adapter to the annular rotor disk (12, 110) to connect the annular rotor disk (12, 110) to the hub adapter (14, 118), whereby differential thermal expansion can occur between the rotor disk (12, 110) and the hub adapter (14, 118).
