ABSTRACT:
In an aircraft multiple disc brake assembly utilizing carbon composite rotors and stators, an excessive gap occurs at the rotor-backing plate interface during brake depressurization. This gap allows oxidation of the carbon material at the interface thereby reducing friction performance and increasing wear. A spring is disposed between the backing plate and its friction surface thereby axially moving the friction surface closer to the surface of the adjacent rotor to reduce this gap.
