  • Self-ventilating disc brake rotor
    Patent number: 7066306
    Abstract: There is a brake disc rotor having a central hub (1) co-axial with surrounding rings (2) which form brake bands (3) for engagement with brake pads. The rings (3) are supported in a spaced apart parallel configuration with channels (12) therebetween whereby in use of the rotor cooling air is drawn in through vent openings formed around the inner periphery of the rings (3) and then radially outwardly through the channels (12) as the rotor turns. The vent openings include inlet vent ports (7) on the outboard side of the rotor.
