  • Patent number: 7410036
    Abstract: A brake-disc/hub assembly is provided with a disc/hub connection for connecting a brake disc to a brake disc hub. The brake disc includes support elements on the inner circumference thereof, the brake disc hub is provided on the outer circumference thereof with cams, and intermediate elements are radially distributed in the circumferential direction between the brake disc hub and the brake disc, extending into cavities running in the circumferential direction between the cams and the support elements and, hence, providing a transfer of the braking force from the brake disc to the brake disc hub. Each intermediate element includes two shoulders running at least completely or essentially in parallel to each other, whereby one shoulder contacts a corresponding cam and the other shoulder contacts a corresponding support element, embodied such that the total thickness of opposing shoulders on the elements may be reduced for disassembly thereof.

  • Publication number: 20070107996
    Abstract: A pair of brake linings for a disk brake, particularly a disk brake with a sliding caliper, including one brake lining which is actively connected on the clamping side to a clamping device and one brake lining on the reaction side, each having a lining carrier plate and a friction lining which are frictionally arranged on a brake disk in a braking position. The pair of brake linings is embodied in such a way that the clamping-sided and reaction-sided lining carrier plate are adapted, configured and dimensioned differently corresponding to the respectively occurring loads and construction areas of the brake caliper.
