A brake disc includes a friction ring consisting at least partially of a first material and a brake rotor hat consisting at least partially of a second material that is different from the first material. The friction ring includes a flange formed in the axial direction, wherein the flange is connected to the brake rotor hat by means of at least one connection element. An intermediate piece is provided between the surface of the brake rotor hat in contact with the connection element and the connection element. In this way, a stable mechanical connection is created between the flange of the friction ring and the brake rotor hat.

A brake body according to the present disclosure has a coating layer which contains an iron-based amorphous alloy and is formed on a contact surface at which a friction means rubs against the brake body to generate braking force which the brake body is rotated. The coating layer has a low friction coefficient and thus generates less dust during braking. The coating layer also has high corrosion resistance and wear resistance and may thus guarantee high performance and good price competitiveness when applied to a brake base material produced at low cost.

A braking band of a disc brake disc of a ventilated type unusually capable of avoiding vibrations which induce annoying squeals during the braking action. The braking band having two plates joined by connecting elements. At least one of the connecting elements is a fin that has an extension along an outer circumferential width, and an extension along an inner circumferential width. A section taken along a section plane having a radial and circumferential direction, section made by passing through a mean air flow point which runs through a gap, where the outer circumferential width is greater than the inner circumferential width.

A wheel hub for a utility vehicle includes a brake element abutment surface against which a brake element bears in an installed state, and a positive-locking arrangement which interacts in positively locking fashion, as viewed in a direction of rotation, with the brake element in the installed state, and/or a receiving region for a positive-locking arrangement which interacts in positively locking fashion, as viewed in a direction of rotation, with the brake element in the installed state.

In some examples, an assembly includes a rotor drive key configured to be positioned over a wheel boss defined by a wheel. A drive key body defines a trough configured to receive the wheel boss. An inner surface of the drive key body is configured to establish a conforming contact with an outer profile of the wheel boss and oppose relative motion of the rotor drive key in a radial direction of the wheel. The rotor drive key includes a tab having a tab aperture configured to receive a fastener extending in an axial direction of the wheel and engaging the wheel boss.

A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels, and an impact management system. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The frame structure includes a pair of rails that each extends in the longitudinal direction from a first end arranged adjacent a pair of front wheels to a second end arranged adjacent a pair of rear wheels. The plurality of wheels are supported by the frame structure. The plurality of wheels includes the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear wheels. The pair of front wheels are positioned forward of the pair of rear wheels in the longitudinal direction.

A disk brake disk has a bell made of a first material and a braking band made of a second material. The bell has a bell body having a radially outer bell body portion and forms a plurality of bell projections radially protruding from the radially outer bell body portion. Each bell projection has a projection base close to the radially outer bell body portion and a distal projection portion far from the radially outer bell body portion. A braking band body is coupled to the distal projection portion. Adjacent projection bases are joined to one another by a bell rib made in a single piece with the bell body and having an inner axial rib face and an outer axial rib face. The braking band body is coupled to the inner axial rib face, leaving the outer axial rib face free and externally facing the disk brake disk.

A motor-specific electromagnetic braking device includes: a housing configured to rotatably house a rotating shaft portion of a motor; a hub attached to an outer perimeter of the rotating shaft portion; and a friction member configured to be rotatable together with the hub and movable in a direction of a rotation axis, and the friction member includes: a plate-shaped portion; and a friction portion provided to an outer-diameter portion of the plate-shaped portion, the hub is provided, on both sides in the direction of the rotation axis, with a pair of holding plates covering at least a part of the friction member, and inner-diameter portions of the pair of holding plates are fixed to the hub.

A manufacturing process may comprise: stacking a plurality of friction discs together, each friction disc comprising a lug defining a surface; and depositing a composition to bond to the surface of a first friction disc in the plurality of friction discs to form a wear pad defining a wear surface.

A tension brake assembly includes a frame, a plurality of brake pad assemblies, and a hub configured to be coupled to a rotating component. The hub includes a plurality of drive pins adjacent an annular wall. A rotor engages the plurality of drive pins such that rotation of the hub causes rotation of the rotor while permitting axial movement relative to the annular wall. The rotor has friction surfaces for engagement with the brake pad assemblies. An actuator is provided. Movement of the actuator in a first direction moves the friction components together in the axial direction to increase friction exerted by the tension brake assembly. Movement of the actuator in a second direction moves the friction components away from one another in the axial direction to decrease friction exerted by the tension brake assembly.
