Abstract
Brake systems and methods of their operation are disclosed, including a brake system comprising: a rotor comprising: a hub configured for attachment to a vehicle; and a first and a second contact surfaces; and a web connecting the first and second contact surfaces to the hub; a first and a second brake pad located adjacent to the respective first and second contact surfaces of the brake rotor, wherein the first and the second brake pads are configured to press on the respective first and second contact surfaces during operation of the brake system; a first brake piston configured to push the first brake pad against the first contact surface of the rotor during operation of the brake system; wherein upon operation of the brake system in a first operation mode, the first piston moves the second contact surface toward the second piston by deflection of the rotor at the web.
