ABSTRACT:
A low mass brake rotor apparatus with flow through ventilation is disclosed for enhanced cooling performance and improved resistances to thermal distortion. The brake rotor apparatus comprises bifurcated radial cooling ducts to maintain predetermined cooling medium velocity therethrough for optimal heat convection. Balanced heat conduction is achieved to minimize thermal distortion by providing symmetrically oriented rubbing surfaces with equivalent thermal conduction load paths.
