Vibration control system

A wheel end assembly comprising:

• a brake rotor comprising a first friction pad portion and a second friction pad portion:
• a caliper assembly that is configured for connection to a hub retainer that supports the wheel and configured to move radially with respect to the rotation axis, wherein the caliper assembly is configured to engage the first friction pad portion and the second friction pad portion of the brake rotor to inhibit rotation of the brake rotor and the wheel relative to the hub retainer;
• and
• a damper assembly that is configured for connection to the hub retainer and is connected to the caliper assembly, with the damper assembly configured to regulate movement of the caliper assembly with respect to the hub retainer, wherein the caliper assembly and the damper assembly cooperate to define a mass damper system that is configured to damp vibration of the wheel,
• wherein the caliper assembly includes an inner caliper plate and an outer caliper plate,
• wherein the inner caliper plate is located on a first side of the brake rotor and is configured to engage the first friction pad portion,
• wherein the outer caliper plate is located on a second side of the brake rotor and is configured to engage the second friction pad portion, and
• wherein the inner caliper plate and the outer caliper plate each have an annular configuration that extends around a central opening.

A wheel end assembly comprising:

• a brake rotor that is configured for connection to a wheel for rotation with the wheel about a rotation axis;
• a caliper assembly that is configured for connection to a hub retainer that supports the wheel and configured to linearly translate radially with respect to the rotation axis;
• and
• a first damper assembly and a second damper assembly that are each configured for connection to the hub retainer and coupled to the caliper assembly, wherein the first damper assembly and the second damper assembly are configured to regulate motion of the caliper assembly with respect to the hub retainer to damp movements of the hub retainer.
