Abstract
A multi-part brake disk consists of a friction ring and a bowl-shaped holding part formed from sheet metal and connected in a form-fitting manner to the friction ring by plastic deformation. To ensure an especially simple and inexpensive connection, the holding part is provided with stamped tabs that are distributed over its circumference and project radially outward out of the peripheral face and can be shaped in the holding part by a simple stamping operation directed radially outward.
Claims10
A brake disk having a rotary axis and comprising
- a friction ring and a bowl-shaped holding part,
- the holding part having a circumferential face and being provided with stamped tabs that are
- adapted to be shaped in the holding part by a stamping directed radially outward, to thereby project radially outward out of the circumferential face,
- distributed over the circumference of the holding part, and
- connected to the friction ring in a positive-locking manner.

- distributed over the circumference of the holding part, and
- connected to the friction ring in a positive-locking manner,
- wherein the holding part comprises an outer edge area with a radially projecting peripheral flange, a radial inside edge area of the friction ring abutting the peripheral flange and being secured to prevent displacement in one axial direction, the stamped tabs being arranged at an axial distance from the flange and designed in a cam shape, so that an inclined flank of a stamped tab that rises in the area of an inside edge of the friction ring and is in contact with the inside edge prevents displacement of the friction ring in the other axial direction.
