The
thin wall ribs next to the hub and the ribs on the base of the rotor are critical features which carry significant
load and must be flaw free for strength and machinability.
- The rotor is oriented in the
horizontal plane so that the parting line/plane is perpendicular to
the rotor center line
The casting design engineer
has two options for orienting the rotor in the mold --
- The rotor is oriented with the ribs in the lower section of the mold.
Option B
- The rotor is oriented with the ribs in the upper section of the mold.
