Abstract
A adapter assembly for refinishing a hubbed rotor is provided. The adapter assembly for a hubbed rotor includes an adapter drum and a self-centering bearing mechanism sleeve mountable on a brake lathe arbor to secure a hubbed rotor during a refinishing operation.
Claims14
An adapter assembly for a hubbed rotor, comprising:
- a drum formed with a first chamber adapted to contain mounting bolts of the hubbed rotor;
- a column mounted substantially in the center of the first chamber adapted to define a second chamber,
- further comprising a bore extending through the drum and the column coincident with the longitudinal axis of the drum and the column;
- a wall further defining the second chamber extending from one end of the column adapted to secure a portion of the hubbed rotor;
- and
- a self-centering bearing mechanism sleeve adapted to disengably couple a bearing mechanism located in the hubbed rotor.
3 more elements
A system for refinishing a hubbed rotor having a bearing mechanism, comprising:
- a base formed with a first hollow passage through substantially the center of the base for slidable engagement with a brake lathe arbor;
- a cylindrical tube having a second hollow passage for slidable engagement with a brake lathe arbor, the cylindrical tube monolithically extending at a right angle from one face of the base,
- wherein the leading end of the cylindrical tube is removably engageable with the bearing mechanism;
- a substantially circular body formed with a first chamber for removably housing mounting bolts of the hubbed rotor,
- wherein the substantially circular body includes a bore through the center of the substantially circular body for slidable engagement on the brake lathe arbor;
- and
- a second chamber formed in the substantially circular body adjacent the bore for compressibly containing one or more ring extensions of the hubbed rotor during rotation of the brake lathe arbor.
