Abstract: In order to regenerate a brake lining, preferably for a railway vehicle, a friction lining is worked by machining, starting from its worn surface, and provided with a three-dimensional surface profile. The profiled surface is then coated with an agglutinant, and a fresh friction lining substance is pressed on. The worn surface is preferably worked by profile grinding or profile milling, such that a profiled surface structure is produced having a teeth-like, trapezoidal or meander-shaped profile that is vertical to the surface, wherein the profile depth of the surface structure lies in the region of approx. 1-30 mm, preferably 5-20 mm. The profile is preferably oriented in one direction, crosswise to the main strain of the friction lining during braking.

Abstract: In order to regenerate a brake lining preferably for a railway vehicle a friction lining (3) is worked by machining, startling from its worn surface (6) and provided with a three dimensional surface profile (7). The profiled surface (7) is then coated with an agglutmant and a fresh friction lining substance is pressed on. The worn surface is preferably worked by profile grinding or profile milling, such that a profiled surface structure (7) is produced having a teeth-like, trapezoidal or meander-shaped profile that is vertical to the surface, whereby the profile depth of the surface structure lies in the region of approx. 1-30 mm. preferably 5-20 mm. The profile is preferably oriented in one direction.

Abstract: In a fifth wheel with a multipart sliding segmental lining which is rotationally and fixedly arranged on a coupling plate. Comfort is improved and a high service life is made possible by the fact that the sliding segment lining comprises a frictional material, the coefficient of friction of the sliding surface of the sliding surface lining being in the region of 0.1 to 0.2.
