Abstract
A brake cylinder piston assembly having a composite piston head having a bore formed therethrough, a cup positioned in the bore and coupled to the piston head, and a hollow rod securely welded to the cup. The cup is coupled to the piston head by a series of fingers with locking tabs that extend around the bore of the piston head and engage a rim of the cup. The bore of the piston head has two steps that correspond to the two steps formed into outside of the cup so the two step outer diameter of the cup is securely seated in the two step inner diameter of the bore. A plastic load disc having a hemispherical cavity may be positioned within the end of the hollow rod that is secured to the cup to absorb high energy hand brake releases.
