A braking band extending between an inner diameter and an outer diameter has two plates facing each other and having inner surfaces delimiting a gap. The two plates are joined by connecting elements projecting from one of the two plates and reaching the opposite plate. A first series of fins of the connecting elements is each a fin which is in a single piece and extends from near the inner diameter to near the outer diameter and has a fin outer end portion having a predetermined extension along an outer circumferential width, and a fin inner end portion having a predetermined extension along an inner circumferential width. Considering a section taken along a section plane including the radial and circumferential directions, the outer circumferential width is greater than the inner circumferential width and the fin outer end portion of each fin faces only an adjacent fin on both sides in circumferential direction.

Braking band of a disc for disc brake of ventilated type

A braking band has a first plate and an opposite second plate having inner surfaces delimiting a gap, outer surfaces forming braking surfaces, and a plate body. The plates are joined by connecting elements. At least one plate has at least one ridge projecting into the gap without reaching the opposite plate. The ridge extends from a first connecting element to an adjacent connecting element, and along a circumferential direction, the connecting elements and the ridge being groupable in modules circumferentially distributed along the gap. A first module has three adjacent connecting elements connected by two ridges projecting from the first plate into the gap without reaching the second plate. A second module has three adjacent connecting elements connected by two ridges projecting from the second plate into the gap without reaching the first plate. A third module has at least one connecting element free of ridge connection.
