The development of a vehicle 'wet' braking system referred to as the Solid Rotor Oil Immersed Brake (SROIB) has yielded key innovations and features in comparison with conventional dry friction brake systems. The wet braking system is fully enclosed and sealed. Rotary disc and pads are of innovative design. To ensure rapid removal of oil from the pad and rotor interface spiroidal grooves of specific geometrical shape and configuration are provided on the faces of the pads and rotor. To reduce heat ingression from the pads and rotor into the hydraulic piston, PTFE protection boots have been incorporated resulting in a reduced operational temperature. The technology has to date been applied to braking systems on a range of vehicles, off-road vehicles and industrial applications operating in extreme climatic and harsh environmental conditions.
