Abstract

The invention relates to a brake disk ( 2 ) comprising a friction ring ( 4 ) and a brake disk hub ( 6 ). Both the friction ring ( 4 ) and the brake disk hub ( 6 ) are provided with a ring land ( 8, 10 ) which overlap in a concentric manner. The ring land ( 8, 10 ) encompass recesses ( 14, 16 ) through which a joining arrangement ( 12 ) is guided in the form of a connecting pin ( 20 ). Also provided is a support ring ( 18 ) which encloses the ring land ( 8 ) of the friction ring ( 4 ) in a sandwich-type manner along with the ring land ( 10 ) of the brake disk hub ( 6 ). The support ring ( 18 ) comprises recesses ( 22 ) within which ends of the connecting pin ( 20 ) are supportingly mounted.

Claims (8)

1. A brake disk ( 2 ) with at least one friction ring ( 4 ) which is connected to a brake disk hub ( 6 ) by means of a joining arrangement ( 12 ) in which the friction ring ( 4 ) and the brake disk hub ( 6 ) each feature a concentric ring land ( 8 , 10 ) and the ring lands ( 8 , 10 ) of the friction ring ( 4 ) and the brake disk hub ( 6 ) overlap, wherein elements of the joining arrangement ( 12 ) pass through recesses ( 14 , 16 ) in the ring lands ( 8 , 10 ), said brake disk further comprising

a support ring ( 18 ) such that the ring land ( 8 ) of the friction ring ( 4 ) is located between the support ring ( 18 ) and the ring land ( 10 ) of the brake disk hub ( 6 ), wherein the ring lands ( 8 , 10 ) are connected by means of connecting pins ( 20 ) which are fixed in recesses ( 22 ) of the support ring ( 18 ), and wherein the ring land ( 8 ) of the friction ring ( 4 ) exhibits slots ( 34 ) in a radial direction, which are arranged circumferentially around the ring land ( 8 ) and which run from an inside of the ring land ( 8 ) into the friction ring ( 4 ), and feature an end bore ( 36 ) on their outer end, which runs partially through the ring land ( 8 ) and through the friction ring ( 4 ),

wherein the friction ring ( 4 ) is thicker than the ring land ( 8 ), wherein a step is formed at a location where the ring land ( 8 ) is connected to the friction ring ( 4 ), and wherein the end bore ( 36 ) runs through the step.

2. The brake disk according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting pins ( 20 ) are engaged into the recesses ( 22 ) in the support ring ( 18 ).

3. The brake disk according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting pins ( 20 ) feature a thread ( 26 ) on one side of the brake disk hub ( 6 ) and are fastened with a nut ( 24 ).

4. The brake disk according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting pins ( 20 ) are screwed into the support ring ( 18 ).

5. The brake disk according to claim 1 , wherein the recesses ( 16 ) in the ring land ( 10 ) of the brake disk hub ( 6 ) are open radially outwards.

6. The brake disk according to claim 1 , wherein the friction ring ( 4 ) consists of a fiber reinforced ceramic on the basis of silicon carbide.
