  • Positioning of disks in the brake released mode for multi disk brakes
    Patent number: 10408288
    Abstract: A multi-disk brake assembly includes a stator disk that is non-rotatable, a rotatable rotor disk arranged adjacently and coaxially with the stator disk, and an axial retention device. The rotor disk and the stator disk are axially moveable between an engaged position during braking operation and a disengaged position during a released mode of operation. The axial retention device is axially moveable and supports at least one of the disks. The axial retention device includes a set of axially translatable pins or bolts that are pushed by the disks during the braking operation and maintain a predetermined space between the disks during the released mode of operation. The predetermined space and position of the disks is maintained when the brake assembly is subject to forces due to vehicle acceleration or cornering.
