Abstract
A floating brake rotor assembly including a hub, a disc and a retainer. The hub includes a plurality of grooves. The disc has a center aperture where the hub is positioned. The disc has a plurality of tabs with each tab having therein a groove and each groove on each tab aligned with a groove hub. The retainer runs through each aligned groove on the hub and each groove on the disc to secure the disc to the hub and to enable the disc to move radially relative to an axle axis.

A floating brake rotor assembly comprising:
- a hub having an axle axis and a plurality of spokes, each spoke having therein a groove;
- a disc having a center aperture where the hub is positioned, the disc having a plurality of tabs around a periphery of the center aperture, each tab having therein a groove and each tab aligned with one spoke such that the groove on each tab is aligned with a groove on each spoke;
- and
- a retainer positioned in each aligned groove on the hub and each groove on the disc to secure the disc to the hub and to enable the disc to move radially relative to the axle axis.
A floating brake rotor assembly comprising:
- a disc having a center aperture;
- a hub positioned in the center aperture and having an axle axis;
- a plurality of tabs on one of the disc and the hub and a plurality of pockets on the other of the disc and the hub, wherein one tab is positioned in each pocket;
- a raceway defined by a path through each of the plurality of tabs and each of the plurality of pockets;
- and
- at least one retainer running along the raceway to secure the disc to the hub and to enable the disc to move radially relative to the axle axis.
A floating brake rotor assembly comprising:
- a disc having a center aperture and having a first surface plane and a second surface plane;
- a hub positioned in the center aperture and having an axle axis and retaining portions that engage with the disc;
- and
- a retainer securing the disc to the retaining portions of the hub to enable the disc to move radially relative to the axle axis such that the retainer and retaining portions are positioned between the first surface plane and the second surface plane.
