Abstract
Friction assembly (1) comprising a support plate (2) and at least one brake pad (4), made by co-molding of at least one heat-resistant resin, the heat-resistant resin of the support plate (2) being partially loaded with non-metallic reinforcement fibers. The support plate (2) identifies one or more accessory-connection seat, made by co-molding. This invention further relates to a method for the manufacture of a friction assembly and a brake calliper.
Claims20
A friction assembly comprising a co-moulded support plate and at least one brake pad, the co-moulded support plate and brake pad made of at least one heat-resistant resin, the support plate further comprising non-metallic reinforcement fibres within the at least one heat-resistant resin;
- wherein the support plate further comprises one or more accessory-connection seats co-moulded in the support plate, selected from:
- i) at least one housing seat for a vibration suppression body;
- ii) at least one connection seat for a frequencies reduction mass of said brake pad;
- iii) at least one engagement seat of a rear spacer of said support plate;
- iv) at least one connection seat for a mechanical or electronic wear indicator of said brake pad;
- v) at least one junction seat for an anchor component of the support plate to a hollow piston of a disc brake calliper;
- and
- vi) at least one positioning seat for a temperature or force/torque sensor.
