Abstract
A brake-disc/hub assembly is provided with a disc/hub connection for connecting a brake disc to a brake disc hub. The brake disc includes support elements on the inner circumference thereof, the brake disc hub is provided on the outer circumference thereof with cams, and intermediate elements are radially distributed in the circumferential direction between the brake disc hub and the brake disc, extending into cavities running in the circumferential direction between the cams and the support elements and, hence, providing a transfer of the braking force from the brake disc to the brake disc hub. Each intermediate element includes two shoulders running at least completely or essentially in parallel to each other, whereby one shoulder contacts a corresponding cam and the other shoulder contacts a corresponding support element, embodied such that the total thickness of opposing shoulders on the elements may be reduced for disassembly thereof.
