ABSTRACT:
A wheel and brake assembly comprising an axle, a bearing supported on the axle, a wheel rotatably mounted on the axle by the bearing and a torque tube located in a fixed position about the axle. The torque tube includes a torque tube foot extending radially inward from the torque tube to the axle for support by the axle. At least one stator disc is connected with the torque tube and one rotor disc is connected with the wheel for conjoint rotation therewith. An actuator is provided for axially moving the rotor and stator discs into frictional engagement with one another for braking the wheel. A clamp is located at one end of the axle for axially clamping the bearing, torque tube, brake housing and axle. A vibration dampener operatively engages the torque tube and is arranged to attenuate vibrations in the torque tube and inhibit their transmission to the axle.
