A method of producing a rotatable brake component and bearing assembly (60) is disclosed wherein the brake friction surface (40a, 42a) of the brake component is oriented in a predetermined relationship relative to an inner race (54, 56) of a bearing unit (50). In accordance with this method, a rotatable brake component (e.g., a rotor or drum) defining an axis (x) and including a brake friction surface (40a, 42a) and a hub portion (22) having a cylindrical bore (28) formed therein is provided. Next, the bore (28) of the hub is machined. A bearing unit (50) in then installed in the bore (28) of the hub portion (22). The bearing unit (50) includes an outer race (52) which engages the bore (28) and an inner race (54, 56) rotatably supported relative thereto. The brake component and bearing assembly (60) is then supported on a machining apparatus (70, 72) by the inner race (54, 56) of the bearing unit (50). Using the machining apparatus (70, 72), the brake friction surface (40a, 42a) is machined whereby the brake friction surface (40a, 42a) is oriented in a predetermined relationship relative to the inner race (54, 56) of the bearing unit (50). |
