Brake rotor

Abstract

The present invention relates to a brake rotor (10, 32, 38) which comprises a central inner region (12) of a first material composition of a fiber-reinforced thermoset (duroplast), which has a hub portion (16) with a concentric through-opening (20) for receiving a shaft to be braked, and an annular outer region (14), arranged concentrically on the central inner region (12), of a second material composition of a fiber-reinforced thermoset (duroplast), which has a braking portion (24) with a friction surface. The central inner region (12) and the annular outer region (14) are connected to each other with a material bond. The central inner region (12) is formed for transmitting high torques from the annular outer region (14) to the shaft to be braked, and the annular outer region (14) is optimized with regard to its tribological properties.
