Abstract
An annular-shaped disk half of a split friction disk assembly for a disk brake system. The disk half includes a friction surface and a non-friction surface. The friction surface is at an axial end of the disk half. The non-friction surface is at an axial end of the disk half on a side opposite of the friction surface. The non-friction surface includes a contact surface and a non-contact surface. The non-contact surface is recessed from the contact surface.

An annular-shaped disk half of a split friction disk assembly for a disk brake system comprising:
- a friction surface at an axial end of the disk half;
- and
- a non-friction surface at an axial end of the disk half on a side opposite of the friction surface, the non-friction surface including:
- a contact surface;
- and
- a non-contact surface recessed from the contact surface.
A split friction disk assembly for a disk brake system comprising:
- two disk halves, each of the two disk halves including:
- a friction surface at an axial end of the disk half;
- and
- a non-friction surface at an axial end of the disk half on a side opposite of the friction surface, the non-friction surface including:
- a contact surface for contacting a contact surface of the other disk half;
- and
- a non-contact surface recessed from the contact surface;
- wherein the two disk halves are in direct physical contact with each other at their respective contact surfaces to create a cavity between their respective non-contact surfaces.
