Abstract: In order for a carrier body, which has a friction pad carrier plate (10) and at least one first absorber mass (14) rigidly connected to the friction pad carrier plate, to be further improved in such a way that the rigid connection between friction pad carrier plate and the first absorber mass is made more robust, provision is made for a first pin-like projection (18) of the first absorber mass (14) to be inserted into the first hole of the friction pad carrier plate (10) such that the head (28) of the first pin-like projection (18) protrudes out of the first hole and bears partially against a first chamfer (26) in the region of a first edge (22) of the first hole.

Abstract: In order to further improve a method for producing a carrier body for a friction lining of a disk brake, in such a way that the rigid connection between a friction-lining carrier plate of the carrier body and a first damper mass of the carrier body is more robust, a force directed perpendicularly towards the first pin-shaped project is exerted, according to the invention, by means of pressing until the first pin-shaped projection is compressed to such an extent that the first pin-shaped projection forms, within the first hole, a form closure with an inner wall of the first hole in some regions.

Abstract: To provide a brake lining for a disc brake of a vehicle, in which at least one friction lining element is arranged movably relative to the backing plate and to this end the at least one friction lining element is arranged on the backing plate by means of a spring system, with a particularly favourable force-deflection behaviour, a high degree of damping and a stable thermal behaviour, it is proposed for the spring system to have a plurality of spring elements or to consist of a plurality of spring elements.

Abstract: To improve a brake lining for a disc brake of a vehicle, having a backing plate and a plurality of friction lining elements arranged movably relative to the backing plate, such that brake squealing can be largely avoided and at the same time additional wear owing to ice and abrasive particles resulting from winter conditions is counteracted, it is proposed for a spring system between the backing plate and the friction lining elements to be designed such that, during brake operation and owing to a resulting lining pressure force on the friction lining elements, a contact force between at least two adjacent friction lining elements is increased.

Abstract: In order to further improve a brake lining comprising a support body and a friction lining arranged on the support body in such a manner that undesirable noises, in particular undesirable squealing can be avoided or reduced in as cost-effective as possible a manner, it is proposed for the noise reduction by means of a mechanical oscillation on or in the brake lining to arrange an actuator for generating the mechanical oscillation, wherein the actuator can be excited by an electrical signal.
