TORQUE PAD ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189689 titled 'TORQUE PAD ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY

The abstract describes a brake assembly that compresses a brake disc stack to limit rotational motion of a wheel, transmitting the compression force to a torque tube via torque pads.

  • The brake assembly compresses a brake disc stack to reduce and/or limit rotational motion of a wheel.
  • The compression force on the disc stack is transmitted to a backing plate.
  • The backing plate transmits the compression force to a torque tube through one or more torque pads.
  • A torque pad includes a pin supported by a support portion, which inserts into a support recess of a boss when supported.
  • The support portion of the torque pad is resiliently biased to exert an inward force on the pin when displaced outward.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for braking systems - Industrial machinery for motion control - Aerospace industry for aircraft landing gear

Problems Solved: - Reducing rotational motion of wheels - Efficient transmission of compression force - Resilient support for torque pads

Benefits: - Improved braking performance - Enhanced safety and control - Increased durability and reliability

Commercial Applications: "Advanced Brake Assembly for Automotive and Industrial Applications"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the resilient biasing of the torque pad improve the performance of the brake assembly? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this brake assembly technology in various industries?


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.
