Brake Disc with Mechanically Interlocked Hub and Brake Ring Assembly

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a brake disc, particularly for vehicles, consisting of a brake pot (hub) and a brake ring. The design features the brake pot extending axially beyond its usual connection, forming a closed projection that is bent outward and secures the brake ring in place. This configuration helps to fix the brake ring in the axial direction, providing improved assembly and stability.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Automotive brake systems in passenger cars and trucks
• High-performance or racing vehicle brake assemblies
• Replacement brake discs for after-market automotive parts
• Industrial vehicles requiring robust braking components

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Enhanced axial fixation of the brake ring for improved safety and reliability
• Simplified assembly due to the integrated securing feature
• Potential for reduced wear and better heat dissipation owing to improved structural integrity
• Lower risk of component loosening during use, leading to increased service life

Patent Abstract

Brake disc, in particular for motor vehicles, consisting of – a brake pot (1) with a bottom (2) and a wall region (3) adjoining the bottom and extending along a longitudinal axis (A) and – a brake ring (4) pushed onto the brake pot (1), characterized in that the brake pot (1) with a first end face (3.1) of the wall region (3), which is opposite the bottom (2), protrudes beyond a first side (5.1) of the brake ring (5) facing away from the bottom (2) of the brake pot (1) in the axial direction with a circumferentially closed projection (X) and the circumferentially closed projection (X) of the brake pot (1) is radially deformed outward and rests against the first side (5.1) of the brake ring (5) and fixes the brake ring (5) in a first axial direction.
