Each planar pad surface is at least about 50% of a surface area of the respective first and second pad surfaces. The plurality of bosses engages with the plurality of pockets to position the respective first and second friction pads relative to the structural core. The plurality of elongated fasteners passes through bores of corresponding bosses of friction pads to fasten the friction pads to the structural core.

A friction pad assembly for a disc brake is provided. A lining assembly includes a friction material which is pressed against a disc rotor during braking and a back plate which is fixed to a back surface of the friction material, and the back plate includes a plate fitting part swingably fitted to a guide hole provided in a guide plate. The plate fitting part is fitted into the guide hole such that a braking torque acting when the friction material is pressed against the disc rotor is transmitted from the plate fitting part to the guide plate. A rotation regulator regulating a rotation of the lining assembly is integrally formed on a torque receiving plate fixed to the guide plate.

A friction disk may comprise a friction disk core and a wear liner coupled to the friction disk core. A depression may be formed in a surface of the friction disk core. The wear liner may comprise a protrusion extending from a non-wear surface of the wear liner. The protrusion may be positioned within the depression of the friction disk core.

A brake lining arrangement, in particular for a disk brake of a motor vehicle, has a rear plate and a friction lining that is connected to the rear plate. The rear plate has a bearing face on which the friction lining is placed. The rear plate also has a member configured for fastening the friction lining on the bearing face. The friction lining has at least one cutout that is configured as a blind bore. At least one connecting pin is arranged fixedly on the rear plate so as to project from the bearing face. The connecting pin is configured to engage at least substantially without play into the cutout.

A rear disc of a stack of aircraft carbon brake discs intended to rest against one end of the torque tube of the brake on which the disc stack is threaded, the support being provided by pucks secured to the rear disc by rivets, each inserted into a through hole in the rear disc and a hole opposite one of the pucks. According to the invention, each rivet has a cylindrical rod inserted into the holes of the rear disc and the puck and having an end deformed against the puck, and a head having a circular cylindrical portion with a conical base having an outer peripheral surface connected to a conical surface of the base by a fillet, and the disc through hole has a first portion adapted to receive the rod of the adjusting rivet, a second portion adapted to receive the circular cylindrical portion of the head of the adjusting rivet, and a transition conical portion adapted to receive the conical base of the rivet head.

A friction device has a carrier element and friction lining segments arranged thereon, wherein the friction lining segments each include one sintered friction lining arranged on a friction lining carrier, the friction lining carrier being connected to the carrier element by fastening elements, and several fastening elements being arranged per friction lining segment, wherein one fastening element is located on a first circular path having a first diameter, and one fastening element is located on a second circular path having a second diameter, and wherein the ratio of the first diameter of the first circular path to the second diameter of the second circular path is selected from a range from 1.2 to 1.5.

A brake lining for a disc brake includes a distribution of lining elements which are arranged on a lining support or on group supports in groups, and the group supports are secured to the lining support. The lining elements have first lining elements and second lining elements, and the group supports have a first group support and a second group support. The first lining elements are arranged on the first group support or on the lining support in a non-tiltable and/or inflexible manner, and the second lining elements are arranged on the second group support or on the lining in a tiltable and/or flexible manner.

A brake pad for a disk brake of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a backing plate, to which a plurality of friction units is fastened, each using a securing element supported on the rear side of the backing plate facing away from the friction unit, wherein each friction unit has, on the side of the backing plate facing away from the securing element, a friction element, which is mounted for tilting by means of a spherical-portion-shaped attachment and under the load of a spring supported on the backing plate, is designed in such a way that an annular disk is arranged between the spring and the friction element, at least some regions of said disk lying against the spring and the friction element.

A brake shoe, in particular of a drum brake for utility vehicles, comprising a lining carrier with an arrangement face for arranging a brake lining, a fastening area which is configured to be placed in engagement with a fastening means for fastening the brake lining, wherein the fastening area is embodied so as to be movable in a resettable fashion with respect to the arrangement face.
