ABSTRACT:
The rotation of an automotive tarmac wheel with tire having integral gear teeth (10) is translated into counter rotation of a an associated brake disk having integral gear teeth (16) through the use of a spin translation gear (18) which is mounted to the wheel axel mounting frame (26). This counter rotation acts to counteract the gyroscopic reaction moments induced by the application of off-axis torques to the tarmac wheel and axel assembly. The brake disk is rotationally separated from the tarmac wheel and is allowed to rotate about the wheel axel (12) via a separate brake disk roller bearing (28). The spin translation gear meshes with the tarmac wheel gear teeth and the brake disk gear teeth to create rotational direction translation and is held in place via a spin translation gear axel (20), translation gear roller bearing (22), and translation gear mounting frame (24). The translation gear mounting frame (24) is rigidly attached to the wheel axel mounting frame (26).
