Abstract
A brake pad for a disk brake of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a backing plate, to which a plurality of friction units is fastened, each using a securing element supported on the rear side of the backing plate facing away from the friction unit, wherein each friction unit has, on the side of the backing plate facing away from the securing element, a friction element, which is mounted for tilting by means of a spherical-portion-shaped attachment and under the load of a spring supported on the backing plate, is designed in such a way that an annular disk is arranged between the spring and the friction element, at least some regions of said disk lying against the spring and the friction element.
Claims16
A brake pad for a disk brake of a rail vehicle, the brake pad comprising:
- a carrier plate, to which a plurality of friction units are each fastened by a securing element, which is supported on a rear side of the carrier plate which faces away from the friction units, the respective friction units each having, on that side of the carrier plate which faces away from the securing element, a friction element which is mounted such that the friction element is movable in a tilting manner by a spherical section-shaped attachment and such that the friction element is loaded by way of a spring which is supported on the carrier plate;
- and
- an annular disk arranged between the spring and the friction element, which annular disk bears at least in regions against the spring and the friction element,
- wherein a flange of the disk extends at a distance between the spring and the friction element forming an insulating air layer gap between the flange and each of the spring and the friction element.
