The braking mechanism (10) is characterized in that the energy store and the braking element (17) are made of the same material as a single piece.

A method for producing a wet-running friction paper includes providing a fiber portion with a fiber, providing a filler portion with a filler, providing a binder portion with a phenol-resin-based binder, dissolving the binder portion to form a phenolate, and processing the fiber portion, the filler portion and the phenolate in a paper production process to form the wet-running friction paper.

In some examples, a brake disc assembly including a single continuous core portion defining a core of the brake disc assembly; and a friction portion adjacent the core portion. The friction portion defines the friction surface of the brake disc assembly during a braking operation. The friction portion includes a carbon composite material. The core portion includes a core material that is not a carbon composite material, and the core portion is configured as a heat sink for the brake disc assembly for heat generated during the braking operation.

A multi-piston-dedicated heat dissipating caliper cover with easy installation includes a caliper cover body, a fixing assembly and at least two first fixing bolts. One side edge of the caliper cover body extends toward a side to form a first arc-shaped side plate, and the other side edge of the caliper cover body extends toward a side to form a second arc-shaped side plate. The fixing assembly includes a bolt fixing sheet and a positioning sheet, one end of the positioning sheet is connected with the bolt fixing sheet through a second fixing bolt, and the other end of the positioning sheet passes through a strip-shaped hole and then is inserted into a slot at a top of a brake caliper. By disposing the heat dissipating silicone sheet, a contact area is increased, which allows the heat generated by the brake caliper to be quickly transferred to the caliper cover.

A friction assembly includes a dry-running disc pack with at least one lining disc and at least one counter disc, which are arranged one behind the other in an alternating manner in an axial direction of the disc pack, and which can be brought into frictional contact with one another, wherein the lining disc has at least one mass-pressed dry-running friction lining.
