Disclosed herein is an electromagnetic brake system. The electromagnetic brake system includes a brake disc configured to be rotated together with a drive shaft of a drive motor configured to operate a vehicle wheel, an armature disc configured to be movable so as to be in close contact with or so as to be separated from one side of the brake disc, an elastic member configured to elastically press the armature disc to the one side of the brake disc to a direction in which the armature disc is in close contact with the brake disc, and an inductor configured to separate the armature disc from the brake disc by an electrical signal. The brake disc includes a tube portion mounted on the drive shaft, and a plate portion provided to extend in an outward direction of the tube portion to be opposite to the armature disc. The tube portion and the plate portion are provided as a single member in which the tube portion and the plate portion are integrally formed with each other.

A disk rotor of a vehicle brake with improved efficiency in cooling the disk rotor by a synergy effect that comes from ensuring velocity of airflow flowing between cooling fins, ensuring surface areas of the cooling fins, and generating turbulent flow by second fins. A plurality of cooling fins each extending radially from an inner peripheral edge to an outer peripheral edge of a disk rotor are provided inside the disk rotor at intervals in the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of the cooling fins includes a radial fin extending radially and a second fin spaced apart from the radial fin in the radial direction.

A brake system is disclosed, including a rotor rigidly connected to a shaft configured to rotate about a central axis. The rotor has a first side opposite from a second side, and the brake system includes a first stator structure on the first side of the rotor and a second stator structure on the second side of the rotor. The brake system further includes a first wobble plate between the first side of the rotor and the first stator structure and a second wobble plate between the second side of the rotor and the second stator structure. Each of the first and second wobble plates is configured to nutate when the first and second stator structures decrease rotation rate compared to the rotation rate of the rotor.

A friction disk includes a friction disk core having an inner diameter edge, an outer diameter edge, and a first surface with multiple mortises extending radially across the first surface, each of the multiple mortises having a different dimension at the inner diameter edge than at the outer diameter edge. The friction disk further includes a first wear liner having two wear liner segments each including a wear surface and a non-wear surface having a tenon with a complimentary shape to each of the multiple mortises, the tenon being configured to be received by a corresponding mortise of the multiple mortises to couple the wear liner segments to the friction disk core to form an annular liner.

A disc brake rotor comprises a hub engagement member, a friction member, a first member, and a second member. The hub engagement member is configured to engage with a hub assembly. The friction member is provided radially outwardly of the hub engagement member with respect to a rotational center axis of the disc brake rotor. The friction member has an axial thickness in an axial direction with respect to the rotational center axis. The first member extends between the hub engagement member and the friction member. The first member includes a recess that has an axial depth in the axial direction. The axial depth is larger than the axial thickness of the friction member. The second member is at least partly provided on the recess without using a screw connection.

A rotor assembly for a disc brake system is provided with a central mounting section having a hub, a flange connected to a radially outer edge of the hub, and a first set of connection elements formed in or on the flange. The rotor assembly also includes an outer friction ring section including a radially inner flange and a second set of connection elements formed in or on the radially inner flange. The hub of the central mounting section is configured for connection to a wheel/axle of a vehicle. The outer friction ring section includes surfaces configured for contact with one or more brake pads of a caliper. Also, the first and second sets of connection elements are configured to be press fit together to connect the central mounting section with the outer friction ring section. The outer friction ring section may be implemented as attachable ring members.

A component of a brake for a vehicle, having a metallic base body with a surface provided with a coating which includes an intermediate layer lying on the base body and a covering layer lying on the intermediate layer. The covering layer is formed from a stainless steel matrix with hard material particles embedded therein. The hard material particles embedded in the stainless steel matrix have an average grain diameter of 10-125 m and have a non-melted core region consisting of uninfluenced material of the hard material particles, which core region is surrounded at least in sections by a mixing zone formed from material of the stainless steel matrix and material of the respective hard material particle, via which mixing zone the hard material particles are in each case materially bonded to the stainless steel matrix. Also, a method by which a component coated in this way is produced.

In some implementations of the current subject matter, a brake rotor can include a supporting layer applied to a friction surface of a brake rotor substrate, which can optionally include cast iron, and a coating applied over the supporting layer. The supporting layer can include a preparatory metal, and the coating can impart wear and corrosion resistant properties to the friction surface. Related systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and the like are disclosed.

A method of making a fibrous preform in carbon and/or fibres of a carbon precursor may include superposing at least two layers of carbon fibres and/or fibres of a carbon precursor according to a predefined superposition axis Z so as to form a multilayer body. The method may also include needle-punching via least one first needle-punching device the multilayer body in a needle-punching direction substantially parallel to the superposition axis Z to arrange at least part of the fibres parallel to the superposition axis Z, so as to obtain a needle-punched multilayer body. An optional step may include superposing with each other according to the superposition axis Z two or more of the needle-punched multilayer bodies, obtained separately by applying the above steps.
