Patent number: 9920807Abstract: The invention relates to a friction lining carrier plate (1), which has a metal sheet, to a friction lining, to a friction lining receptacle and to a brake. The metal sheet is formed in such a manner that it has a first and second recess (11, 20) on the friction lining side, wherein the metal sheet has at least a second recess (20) on the friction lining side, wherein the first and second recesses (11, 20) have a differing depth. The first and second recesses on the friction lining side are each formed as an elevation on the side of the actuation means.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignees: TMD Friction Services GmbH, Dömer GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Olav Borgmeier, Dirk Dresen, Harald Grzanna, Wolfgang Hogenkamp, Thomas Kierspel, Armin Muhl, Willmut Rohling, Dai-Victor Sakaguchi, Roland Steege, Jochen Asbeck, Christoph Hahner

Publication number: 20170152905Abstract: A brake pad of a disc brake, having a pad carrier plate and an intermediate layer which is fastened to the bottom surface thereof and carries an abrasive friction lining, is configured in such a way that the thickness of the unused friction lining is less than or equal to a predefined maximum wear dimension. The thickness of the friction lining plus part of the thickness of the intermediate layer correspond to the maximum wear dimension.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2017Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventor: Dirk DRESEN
