Abstract
One exemplary embodiment of a brake rotor includes a cheek member, an intermediate portion, and a hub member. The intermediate portion may be located between the cheek and hub members, and may extend from either the cheek member or the hub member. The intermediate portion may have an exposed section with multiple openings located in the exposed section. The intermediate portion may also have multiple blades extending from inner surfaces of all or some of the openings. The blades cause airflow to pass through the openings to cool the intermediate portion.
