Abstract
A piston assembly for a multi-disk system may comprise an adjustor sleeve and a piston configured to telescope relative to the adjustor sleeve. A puck may be located at an end of the piston. The piston assembly may include a multi-layer insulator. The multi-layer insulator may comprise a first insulator layer contacting the puck or the piston, and a second insulator layer contacting the first insulator layer. The first and second insulator layers may each comprise a solid disk.
Claims20
A piston assembly for a multi-disk system, comprising:
- an adjustor sleeve;
- a piston configured to telescope relative to the adjustor sleeve;
- a puck located proximate a proximal end of the piston;
- and
- a multi-layer insulator located over a surface of the puck opposite the piston, the multi-layer insulator comprising:
- a first insulator layer contacting the surface of the puck and comprising a first solid disk;
- and
- a second insulator layer contacting the first insulator layer and comprising a second solid disk.
A multi-disk system comprising:
- a friction disk;
- and
- a piston assembly configured to apply a force to the friction disk, the piston assembly comprising:
- a piston configured to translate toward the friction disk;
- a puck located between the piston and the friction disk;
- a first insulator layer contacting at least one of the puck or the piston;
- and
- a second insulator layer contacting the first insulator layer, wherein the first insulator layer and the second insulator layer each comprises a solid disk.
A multi-layer insulator for a piston assembly, comprising:
- a first insulator layer comprising a first solid disk;
- a second insulator layer contacting the first insulator layer and comprising a second solid disk;
- and
- a cover plate located over a surface of the second insulator layer opposite the first insulator layer, the cover plate comprising a flange extending axially from an outer circumference of the cover plate.
