<p>A disc brake rotor (30) produced by a machining method includes a friction disc (50) having generally parallel inner and outer machined friction faces (32, 34) adapted to be frictionally engaged by a pair of brake pads (20, 24) of the disc brake assembly (10). One of the inner and outer machined friction faces (32, 34) is operative during braking to produce a first force (F1) in one radial direction on one of the pair of brake pads (20, 24), and the other one of said inner and outer machined friction faces (32, 34) is operative to produce a second force (F2) which is generally equal and in an opposite radial direction to the first force (F1) on the other one of the pair of brake pads (20, 24) to thereby minimize the net radial force on the brake pads (20, 24).</p> |
