RB Self-Locking Rotor Hardware

Exclusive mechanical self-locking design — no Loctite required

RB Self-Locking (M6)

2-piece design, controlled sliding motion

Traditional Floating (M5)

3+ piece design, uncontrolled 3D floating

Zero Loctite needed — hardware bites into the thread permanently

Self-locking, no guesswork

No wondering which Loctite grade to use or how long it'll hold — the thread bite is permanent.

Fewer parts, more control

A 2-piece hardware design creates controlled 2D sliding during heat cycles, instead of uncontrolled 3D floating.

No slippage, no noise

More effective brake torque transmittal without the rattling common to floating rotor designs.

Full engineering detail (hardware design, torque, heat cycling)

Design
RB uses an exclusive mechanical "self-locking" hardware design in M6, compared to the smaller M5 hardware used by many other manufacturers. Torqued to 110 in-lbs, the shining threads bite into the thread permanently, so there's no need to select a Loctite grade or worry about how long it will hold.

Consistent torque at temperature
The self-locking design ensures the assembly retains consistent torque during the life of the rotor at any braking temperature, without relying on adhesive that can degrade with heat cycling.

2D sliding vs. 3D floating
RB's rotor assembly uses fewer pieces of hardware (2) than a traditional surface-mount assembly (3 or more), resulting in a controlled 2D sliding movement during heat expansion and contraction, as opposed to the uncontrolled 3D "floating" movement of traditional designs. The advantage is more effective brake torque transmittal with no slippage, and no noise — as opposed to the rattling commonly associated with other "floating" rotor designs.
