Abstract
A radiating spacer includes a plate body having a backing plate facing side and a caliper facing side, with the backing plate facing side having a plurality of cooling grooves and the caliper facing side having a planar caliper piston contact area. The cooling grooves extend partially into the plate body to provide additional cooling of the brake pad and braking assembly. The planar caliper piston contact area is configured to provide a flat surface for contact with a caliper piston. In some embodiments, the radiating spacer and the backing plate are made from different metal materials having certain thermal conductivity coefficients to help promote advantageous heat distribution.
