ABSTRACT:
A vented rotor for caliper disc brakes and the like includes an outer friction portion having two ring sections with a plurality of radially extending ribs extending therebetween. The ribs include support ribs extending from the hat wall, and secondary ribs space radially from the hat wall. The support ribs and secondary ribs fixedly interconnect the ring sections in a mutually parallel, spaced apart relationship in such a manner that the inner diameter of each the ring section is spaced apart from the hat wall. Vents are formed between the support ribs and secondary ribs. The vents have a constant cross sectional area along their length to enhance the airflow therethrough. As a result, cooling air is permitted to flow into the vents between the inboard and the outboard ring sections from both the inboard and outboard sides of the outer friction portion of the rotor, providing enhanced overall air flow past the ring sections.
