Abstract:
An internally ventilated brake disc with a disc coning reducing arrangement is provided in which temperature differences between inboard and outboard sides of the brake disc are minimized in order to reduce coning-causing differential thermal expansion. Between a radially inner region of a brake disc that includes brake disc-to-axle hub mounting features and a radially outer region the mass of the inboard side of the brake disc is distributed in a manner that reduces the amount of differential thermal expansion occurring during brake application between the inboard and outboard sides of the brake disc, thereby minimizing thermally-induced coning effects. The inboard side disc plate portion may having an increasing axial thickness in the direction from the radially outer region to the radially inner region, providing additional material mass to receive and dissipate heat energy received during a braking event.
