Abstract
A corner module, comprising a knuckle, a hub and bearing a caliper assembly including a caliper that carries at least two opposing and spread apart brake pad assemblies, and a rotor having a rotational axis including a hat portion and a disc portion, the disc portion disposed between the at least two brake pads. At least one of the brake pad assemblies and the rotor includes a main body portion having a first stiffness and at least one sacrificial portion having a second stiffness that is less stiff than the first stiffness of the main body portion. In a brake-off position, a first running clearance between the brake pad assembly and the rotor of the at least one sacrificial portion will be lower than a second running clearance between the friction pad and the rotor of the main body portion. In a brake-on position, the axial deflection of the at least one sacrificial portion exceeds the axial deflection of the main body portion.
