- Figure 5 is a front elevation of a back plate incorporated in the disclosed lightweight brake system
- Figure 6 is a cross section view of the back plate shown in Figure 5;
- Figure 7 is a front elevation of a bracket incorporated in the disclosed lightweight brake system.
- Figure 8 is a cross section view of the bracket shown in Figure 7.
- an embodiment of the disclosed lightweight brake system 10 comprises a multicomponent non-load bearing light weight housing 12 and a bracket 14.
- the housing 12 has an assembled state (shown in Figure 1) defining a space 16 for accommodating a brake mechanism, in this instance a brake calliper 18 and a rotatable braking member in the form of a rotor 20.
- Figure 2 shows two of the main components of the housing 12 namely a cover 22 and a back-plate 24.
- the housing 12 has a first opening 26 and an axially aligned second opening 28.
- the opening 26 is formed in the cover 22 of the opening 28 is formed in the back-plate 24.
- the bracket 14 while formed as a single one-piece component, has a number of different portions which serve different functions.
- the bracket 14 has a fixing portion 30 which is configured to locate within the second opening 28 to enable mechanical fixing of the bracket 14 to a structural component, in this instance an axle housing 32.
- the structural component 32 supports or otherwise has coupled to it the rotatable member 20.
- the bracket 14 also has a housing connection portion 34 to enable fixing of the housing 12 to the bracket 14.
- the housing connection portion 34 is radially spaced from the fixing portion 30. Therefore the housing 12 is attached to the bracket at locations which are radially spaced from the locations at which the bracket 14 is mechanically coupled to the structural component/axle housing 32.
- bracket 14 is provided with a brake coupling portion 36 to facilitate coupling of the brake mechanism to the bracket 14 location within the housing 12 to apply braking force to the rotor 20.
- the fixing portion 30 is formed with a central opening 38 through which the axle housing 32 passes.

- a further hole 45 is formed in the bracket 14 to allow access for an ABS sensor in the housing 12.
- the fixing portion 30 abuts directly against the axle housing 32 and forms a substantial seal about the axle housing 32. Nevertheless optionally a gasket or sealing compound (not shown) can be provided between bracket 14 and the structural components/axle housing 32. However no part of the housing 12 is located between the bracket 14 and the structural component/axle housing 32. Thus no part of the housing 12 is subjected to compression arising from the tensioning of bolts 44 that fix the bracket 14 to the axle housing 32.
- the housing connection portion 34 of the bracket 14 is also axially offset from the fixing portion 30.
- the housing connection portion 34 extends circumferentially about the fixing portion 30 and has an annular surface 46 in which is formed a plurality of spaced apart holes 48. The holes 48 receive screws 50 for attaching the housing 12 and in particular the back-plate 24 to the bracket 14.

- the brake coupling portion 36 also is formed with two upstanding pins 58, one on each lug 52, act to locate and assist in bracing the callipers 18.
- housing 12 is subject to any substantive compression force and in particular no compression between the bracket 14 and the structural member/axle housing 32. It is for this reason that the housing 12 may be made from a lightweight material including but not limited to plastics and polymer materials including polymer composites.
- the reactive force is transferred as torque onto the bracket 14 about the axis of the axle housing 32.
- the torque is spread by the bracket 14 and applied as sheer force substantially equally onto the bolts 44 and thus substantially equally distributed to the axle housing 32.
- the back plate 24 is formed with a number of holes 60 evenly spaced about and near the edge of the opening 28.
- a plurality of circular bosses 62 are formed about an outer circumference of the back-plate 24.
- Two further sets of holes 64 and 66 are formed in the back plate 24. The existence and location of the holes 64 and 66 is dependent upon the configuration of the brake mechanism/calliper 18 mounted on the bracket 14. In different embodiments the number and location of the hole 64 and 66 may change.
- These holes enable passage of hoses (not shown) into the housing 12 for various purposes including: controlled flow of air into and out of the housing 12 through an optional filter located within the housing 12; or in the event of a wet brake application of the system 10 the possible flow of coolant into and out of the housing 12 as well as the filling and draining of the coolant.
- two oval like cut-outs 68 are also formed in the back plate 24 at diagonally the opposite locations.
- the cut-outs 68 are configured to seat a mounting plate 70 of a brake actuator 72 which is coupled to the calliper 18.
- An O-ring 73 is provided to form a seal between mounting plate 70 and the cut-out 68.
- a sealing plate 74 (see Figure 1) may be applied over the other cut-outs 68 on a side outside of the housing 12.
- the cover 22 is formed with a plurality of eyes 76 about an axial end of the circumferential surface 25 distant the opening 26.
- Each of the eyes 76 is formed with a hole 78.
- the opening 26 is circumscribed by a seal assembly mounting ring 80 which is provided with a number of blind holes 82 that open onto an exterior surface of the cover 22.
- a sealing gasket 84 (shown in Figure 2) is located between the cover 22 and the back-plate 24. Holes 86 in the sealing gasket 84 are aligned with and between the bosses 62 and the eyes 76. A plurality of screws 88 are then passed through the holes 78 and 86 and screw into the threaded holes in the bosses 62 to fix the back-plate 24 and intervening gasket 84 to the cover 22.
- the housing 12 also includes a rotary sealing assembly 90 which forms a rotary seal between the cover 22 and a hub 91 rotatable mounted on the axle housing 32.
- the rotary sealing assembly 90 includes an insert housing seal 92, a seal housing 94, a flange sealing ring 96, a V-lip seal 98 and V-lip sealing flanged 100.
- a spacer 101 (shown only on Figure 1) may be installed between the hub 91 and the rotary seal assembly 90.
- the rotary sealing assembly 90 together with the coupling of the back-plate 24 to the bracket 14 provides a substantial seal preventing the ingress of extraneous liquid and foreign material into the space of 16.
- the bracket 14 when mounted on and fixed to the axle housing 32 also forms a substantial seal for the space 16.
- bracket 14 and axle housing 32 are stationary while the hub 91 is able to rotate on bearings 102 mounted on the axle housing 32.
- a wheel (not shown) is able to be mounted on studs 104 attached to the hub 91 .
- a transfer of gas e.g. air
- gas e.g. air
- Such transfer of gas may be via a filter 106 within the housing 12 adjacent one or more of the holes 64, 66.
- the filter 106 prevents the egress of brake pad dust from the housing 12.
- one or hoses or a labyrinth may be coupled to the one or more of the holes 64, 66 in fluid communication with the filter 106 to allow the transfer of gas without the ingress of extraneous liquid.
- the lightweight brake system 10 it is possible for the lightweight brake system 10 to be used either in a dry brake configuration or a wet brake configuration. There is no substantive difference in the structure of the lightweight brake system 10 when used in these different configurations.
- the wet brake configuration is possible because the housing 12 as described above is formed so that the space 16, which can contain a volume of lubricating liquid for a wet brake system, is sealed.
- the filter 106 is not required.
- the lightweight brake system may be embodied in many other forms.
- complementary locking parts may be formed on the cover 22 and back-plate 24 to facilitate their coupling together. The complementary locking parts can be arranged to facilitate a spin type lock.
- bracket 14 can be provided with a plurality of brake coupling portions 36 to support multiple brake callipers. When provided the multiple brake coupling portions 36 can be evenly spaced circumferentially about the bracket 14.
