A disc brake rotor has a support hub and coaxial braking band. The support hub has a plurality of radial seats and the braking band has a plurality of connecting elements which transfer torque between the band and the hub. The connecting elements are integral and made as one piece with the braking band and extend from the braking band in order to engage the corresponding radial seats. The connecting elements are surrounded by walls which are integral and made as one piece with the support hub such as to be fastened in the axial direction and in the tangential direction, but capable of sliding in the radial direction.

Disc for a disc brake

A brake pad () for a disc brake () that can be associated with a caliper () with thrust means () for clamping the brake pad () with friction against a braking band () of a brake disc (), wherein the brake pad () comprises: The upper edge () and lower edge () extend substantially along circumferences of a circle imparting an arcuate shape to the central portion (), and said support appendages () are disposed substantially at the height of said lower edge () of the brake pad ().

Brake pad and caliper for a disc brake

A caliper for a disc-brake includes two side walls at a distance from each other which delimit a space to accommodate a portion of a brake disc. The side walls are connected to each other by a connecting structure which straddles the disc space. Each of the side walls delimits at least one seating capable of accommodating a pad. The caliper comprises a thrust to clamp the pads against the brake disc. The thrust is secured to the side walls in such a way that the side walls absorb the entire clamping force and the seatings are capable of securing the pads so that the side walls also absorb the entire braking moment. The connecting structure comprises arc-shaped shells, connected so as to be integral with both the side walls. The slenderness of the shells expressed as the ratio of thickness to circumferential extension relative to an axis of rotation of the brake disc is less than 17/100.

Caliper for a disk-brake

A support bracket for a disk brake of the type having a floating caliper comprises securing means for securing the support bracket to the suspension of a vehicle, and support means suitable for slidably supporting a sliding caliper body. The support bracket comprises an inner wall facing the inside of the vehicle and an outer wall opposite the inner wall and spaced therefrom. The inner wall and the outer wall are fixedly joined and arranged one on each side of a disk plane and delimit a space for accommodating a portion of a brake disk. Each of the inner wall and the outer wall forms two pad seats for accommodating pads.
