Abstract

See full text

A torque plate for heavy-duty vehicles includes a reduced size and structural features that enable the torque plate to be used in conjunction with a reduced diameter brake rotor. The torque plate is rigidly attached to an axle of the heavy-duty vehicle. The torque plate includes an axle ring that is formed with a thickness and an opening for receiving the axle, in which the axle ring engages an outer diameter of the axle. Each one of a pair of bodies is formed with a thickness and extends radially outwardly in opposite directions from the axle ring. Each body thickness is less than the axle ring thickness. Each one of a pair of carrier mounting bosses extends radially outwardly from a respective one of the bodies. The torque plate also includes a pair of anti-lock braking system sensor mounting bosses, and a pair of splash guard mounting bosses.
