TORQUE PAD ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318697 titled 'TORQUE PAD ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY
The abstract describes a brake assembly that compresses a brake disc stack to limit rotational motion of a wheel about a wheel axis. The assembly transmits a compression force to a backing plate, which then transmits the force to a torque tube via torque pads. The torque pads include pins supported by a support portion, with the support portion being resiliently biased to exert a force on the pin in an inward direction when the pin is displaced outward.
- Brake assembly compresses brake disc stack to limit wheel rotation
- Compression force transmitted to backing plate, then to torque tube via torque pads
- Torque pads have pins supported by support portion, which is resiliently biased
- Support portion exerts force on pin in inward direction when pin is displaced outward
- Innovative design for efficient transmission of compression force
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for braking systems - Industrial machinery for rotational motion control
Problems Solved: - Efficient compression and transmission of force in brake assemblies - Limiting rotational motion effectively and reliably
Benefits: - Improved safety through better control of wheel rotation - Enhanced durability and performance of braking systems
Commercial Applications: - Automotive brake systems - Industrial machinery with rotating components
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the resilient biasing of the support portion improve the performance of the brake assembly? 2. What materials are typically used for the torque pads to ensure durability and reliability?
Original Abstract Submitted
in some examples, a brake assembly is configured to compress a brake disc stack to reduce and/or limit rotational motion of a wheel about a wheel axis. the brake assembly is configured to transmit a compression force on the disc stack to a backing plate. the backing plate is configured to transmit the compression force to a torque tube via one or more torque pads. a torque pad includes a pin supported by a support portion of the torque pad. the pin is configured to insert into a support recess of a boss when the boss supports the torque pad. the support portion of the torque pad is resiliently biased, such that the support portion exerts an force on the pin in an inward direction when the pin is displaced in an outward direction opposite the inward direction.
