Abstract: An arrangement for a brake lining, method for actuating the brake lining and the brake lining itself are a partially lined disc brake of a rail vehicle that has a lining support and multiple group elements arranged on the lining support. Each of the group elements consists of a support plate and multiple lining elements arranged on the support plate, and lining elements with at least two friction surfaces of differing sizes are arranged on each support plate. The lining elements are arranged such that their total surface area at least approximates a ring sector, and at least two different first and second group elements are arranged on the lining support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compressed air preparation device for rail vehicles or utility vehicles, comprising a compressed air inlet, to which an air compressor can be connected, a compressed air outlet, which is connected to the compressed air inlet via a compressed air duct, and an air drying device arranged in the compressed air duct. In the event that the air compressor is switched off, the compressed air duct is vented upstream of the air drying device so that, at restart, the air compressor can start against a reduced counterpressure.
