ABSTRACT:
A disc brake rotor for motor vehicles, having a dual web structural support for connecting a pair of brake discs to a rotor hub that is positioned centrally within the brake rotor without lateral offset. The dual web structural support creates a fanning effect that draws a flow of cooling air between the brake discs. Air flow is further promoted by providing connective ribs located between the brake discs with a shape that produces a pressure drop across the discs and thereby draws cooling air between the discs.
