Abstract: The application relates to a brake pad for a disk brake system and to a disk brake system. The proposed brake pad comprises a back plate having a front side for facing a brake disk of the disk brake system. The brake pad further comprises a friction layer arranged on the front side of the back plate for contacting a friction surface of the brake disk. Further, the brake pad comprises a pressure region that is configured to be pushed on by a brake piston or by a caliper finger of the disk brake system. The back plate and the friction layer each extend into the pressure region. The back plate has a reduced thickness in the pressure region as compared with a region of the brake pad that is not configured to be pushed on by the brake piston or caliper finger.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pad clip (5), comprising at least one retainer (6) for supporting a brake pad (2), and at least one retraction spring (10) for retracting the brake pad (2) in an axial direction upon a brake release, the retraction spring (10) having a spring body (17) with a first portion (11), a second portion (12), and an intermediate portion (13) connecting the first and second portions (11, 12), the first portion (11) comprising a contact portion (14) for contacting the brake pad (2), the second portion (12) being configured to be attached to a calliper support bracket (3), wherein the material of the first portion (11) axially extending between the contact portion (14) and the intermediate portion (13) is configured to be stretched in the axial direction upon a brake action and to return to its unstretched state upon a brake release. The invention also relates to a calliper support bracket (3) and a brake assembly (1).
