Brake disk comprising a friction ring and a linking element
View Patent ↗A brake disk with a friction ring ( 2 ) and a linking element ( 4 ) which are interconnected by a threaded fastener arrangement ( 6 ). The threaded fastener arrangement ( 6 )encompasses a screw, a nut, and an intermediate element ( 12 ). The intermediate element ( 12 ) prevents direct contact between the friction ring ( 2 ) and the linking element ( 4 ). Also provided is a sleeve element ( 14 ) that is disposed on a shaft ( 16 ) of the screw ( 8 ). A sliding block ( 18 ) is plugged onto the sleeve element ( 14 ). The intermediate element ( 12 )at least partly encloses the sliding block such that thermal expansions acting in a radial direction can be compensated by a relative movement between the sliding block ( 18 ) and the intermediate element ( 12 ). The intermediate element also has a springy effect in an axial direction, whereby mechanical and thermal stresses can be compensated in the axial direction.
1. A brake disk with a friction ring ( 2 ) made of a carbon fiber reinforced ceramic, a linking element ( 4 ) made from an aluminum alloy and a threaded fastener arrangement for the connection of linking element ( 4 ) and friction ring ( 2 ), in which the threaded fastener arrangement comprises at least one screw ( 8 ), a nut ( 10 ) and an intermediate element ( 12 ) which prevents a direct contact of the friction ring ( 2 ) and the linking element ( 4 ),
wherein
the intermediate element ( 12 ) is essentially U-shaped with two long sides ( 22 ), provides a resilient force between friction ring ( 2 ) and linking element ( 4 ) in the axial direction and features on its long sides ( 22 ) flaps ( 24 ) with resilient moldings ( 26 , 42 ) for the engagement with oblong recesses ( 20 ) of the linking element ( 4 ),
the flaps ( 24 ) are bent such that they are positioned above boundaries ( 36 ) of the oblong recesses ( 20 ) of the linking element, thereby retaining the intermediate element ( 12 ) also in radial direction within these oblong recesses ( 20 ),
a sliding block ( 18 ) is provided,
the intermediate element ( 12 ) is arranged such that it at least partially encloses the sliding block ( 18 ) to compensate for a radial movement of the friction ring ( 2 ) and the linking element ( 4 ), and
the friction ring ( 2 ) features an inner revolving retainer ring ( 21 ) with fixing holes ( 23 ).
2. The brake disk according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the oblong recesses ( 20 ) extend in radial direction to retain the threaded fastener arrangement ( 6 ).
3. The brake disk according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the intermediate element ( 12 ) features a radial suspension ( 46 ) with respect to the linking element ( 4 ).
