Abstract: A friction lining material mixture for brake or clutch linings, containing 8 to 22% by volume of binder, 3 to 20% by volume of organic fibers, 1 to 20% by volume of further organic compounds, 0 to 20% by volume of inorganic fibers, 5 to 50% inorganic oxides, 0 to 15% inorganic silicates, 1 to 20% inorganic sulfur or inorganic sulfur compounds, 0 to 10% metals or metal alloys and fillers, in particular petroleum coke and/or baryte. The friction linings produced from the friction lining material mixture are distinguished by excellent braking performance and excellent braking comfort and therefore combine the specific positive properties of both Low Steel (LS) and Non-Asbestos Organic (NAO) materials.

Abstract: A disc brake including pads which are supported in sockets having an opening facing towards the disc. The pads each comprise blocks of friction material which are plugged into the sockets.

Abstract: A brake pad, preferably used disc bakes, comprises a profiled metal back plate, to which at least one friction lining is attached, characterized in that a material with lower heat conductivity, relative to the friction lining, is provided in at least some profile sections.

Abstract: A disk brake including a brake disk, a brake caliper and brake linings (2). The brake caliper comprises a lining shaft (18) in which the brake linings (2) and, if appropriate, at least one pressure distributor plate are held down by means of springs (10). Each of the hold-down springs (10) supports themselves on parts of the brake caliper (20) and of the brake lining (2) and, as appropriate, on parts of the at least one pressure distributor plate. Each of the brake linings (2) comprise a supporting plate (6) and at least one friction lining (4) which, in the disk brake according to the invention, is made from the same material. The brake linings (2) further comprise receiving elements (12) for hold-down springs (10) and at least accessory element (16). The brake caliper comprises receiving elements or line elements for the at least one accessory element.
