Definitions
- Floating disc assemblies offer a number of advantages over brake disc assemblies in which the rotor is rigidly connected to the hub member. These include:
- a particular advantage of the brake disc assembly in accordance with the invention is that no axial pre-load is applied between the rotor and the hub member.
- the friction means is operative between at least one of the radially extending faces of the drive member and an opposing face of the cutout. More preferably, the friction means is operative between a radially extending face of the drive member and an opposing face of the cutout which are adapted, in use, to transmit breaking forces between the rotor and the hub when the disc assembly is braked whilst rotating in a forward direction. In one embodiment, the friction means is operative between a normally leading face of the drive member and an opposing face of the cutout.
- a friction means being provided in respect of at least one of the drive members. More preferably, the number of friction means provided on the disc assembly is selected such that the overall level of hysteresis introduced into the floating rotor mechanism is adapted to suit the particular application.
- the friction means is arranged to provided a pre-determined level of friction between the drive member and the cutout.
- Figure 2 is a cross sectional view through part of the brake disc assembly of Figure 1 in an assembled condition
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a drive member or bobbin forming part of the brake disc assembly of Figures 1 to 3.
- a brake disc assembly 10 in accordance with the invention comprises a rotor 12 and a hub member 14.
- the rotor 12 and the hub member 14 can be made of any suitable material for example cast iron, steel, aluminium, or carbon. If required, the rotor 12 and hub member 14 can be made of different materials.
- the rotor 12 has two generally annular discs of material 16, 18 j oined by a plurality of vanes 20 to provide an air gap between the discs through which cooling air can circulate.
- This arrangement is well known in the art, being referred to as a ventilated rotor.
- Each of the discs 16, 18 has an outer surface 22, 24 for contact with a brake pad in a known manner.
- One of the discs 18 has a number of mounting lugs 26 that project radially inwardly from its inner circumference for mounting the rotor to the hub member 14, as will be described in more detail below.
- the bobbins 38 are attached to their respective mounting lugs 28 by means of a nut and bolt, this is not essential and it will be appreciated that any suitable fastening method can be used.
- the bobbins 38 can be attached to the mounting lugs 26 by means of rivets or any other suitable fastener.
- each bobbin 38 has first and second radially extending circumferential end faces 52, 54.
- first circumferential end face 52 of each bobbin will be the trailing face when the disc is rotated in the forward direction of rotation. This face will be referred to as the normally trailing face 52.
- the second end face 54 will be referred to as the normally leading face 54.
- a braking force is applied to the rotor 12 by means of a brake caliper (not shown) which biases brake pads (also not shown) into contact with the outer faces 22, 24 of the rotor 12 in a manner well known in the art.
- a brake caliper biases brake pads (also not shown) into contact with the outer faces 22, 24 of the rotor 12 in a manner well known in the art.
- tlie disc assembly will be rotated in the forward direction of rotation C as previously described. If a braking force is applied to the rotor 12 with the disc rotating in the forward direction, the normally trailing faces 52 of the bobbins will contact the opposing radial faces 56 of their respective cutouts 36, to transmit braking forces from the rotor 12 to the hub member 14.
- the spring clips 60 can be made of any suitable material able to retain its required properties at the maximum operating temperature of the brake disc assembly.
- the spring clips 60 may be made from a nickle-chromium alloy which may be from the Nimonic range of alloys.
- the overall level of hysteresis or friction introduced into the floating rotor mechanism can be tuned to suit the requirements of any particular application.
- Application factors that may influence the level of hysteresis or friction required include the disc diameter and mass, deflection of the hub bearing under cornering loads, influence of the brake caliper type and general levels of refinement of the host vehicle.
