  • Pad for disc brakes with sintered friction elements
    Patent number: 5538108
    Abstract: It is proposed to mount single, cylindrical or polyhedron sintered friction elements (1) at the cantilevered ends of resilient metal plates (2); the metal plates are attached to a base platen (3) in such a way that each end of the plates acts as an independently movable bracket adapted to absorb any deformation induced by thermal forces, thereby enabling a uniform contact pressure to be exerted between the single friction elements and the brake disc.
