Abstract
A brake disk assembly includes a friction disk clamped between the supporting plate and the fixing plate. The friction disk is axially movable relative to the supporting plate and the fixing plate. The contact area between the friction disk and either one of the supporting plate and the fixing plate is increased to firmly connect the friction disk and the supporting plate and the fixing plate.
Claims6
A brake disk assembly, comprising:
- an annular supporting plate having an external periphery defining a plurality of recessed teeth and at least one mounting hole;
- an annular fixing plate defining at least one mounting hole in an external periphery thereof;
- a friction disk coaxially sandwiched in between the supporting plate and the fixing plate, and having a central aperture defined by an internal circumference thereof and a plurality of internal teeth extending from the internal circumference for engagement with the recessed teeth of the supporting plate;
- wherein the supporting plate is overlapped with the friction disk with the external periphery thereof;
- and
- at least one fastener passing through the mounting holes of the supporting plate and the fixing plate to secure the supporting plate and the fixing plate together and to allow limited axial float of the internal teeth, along with other parts, of the friction disk in between the supporting plate and the fixing plate.
