ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reducing unwanted brake noise has a ring damper affixed around a periphery of a brake rotor in a disk brake system in a manner that permits relative motion and slippage between the ring damper and the rotor when the rotor vibrates during braking. In a preferred embodiment, the ring damper is disposed in a groove formed in the periphery of the disk and is pre-loaded against the rotor both radially and transversely. The ring damper is held in place by the groove itself and by the interference pre-load or pre-tension between the ring damper and the disk brake rotor.
