Disc brake lining, assembled depending on the direction of rotation, for a fixed caliper disc brake

A disc brake lining which is assembled depending on the direction of rotation, with a backing plate as a carrier for a friction material, for the purpose of cooperation with a rotatable brake disc that is surrounded by a rotationally fixedly mounted fixed caliper disc brake housing, and for mounting the disc brake lining;

• wherein the backing plate is cut from a strip-like flat sheet steel material so as to be asymmetric with respect to a friction lining central axis (Y);
• the friction material is fixed largely centrally and indirectly or directly on a front side of the backing plate;
• with distal bearing flanks arranged transversely offset and designed to be free from friction material, wherein the bearing flank placed on the inlet side in the preferred direction of rotation is transversely offset radially inwardly in relation to a piston axis (K), and has a holder with a hole for receiving a retaining pin in order to define a fixedly positioned friction lining fixed bearing (A);
• and the allocated bearing flank of the backing plate which is radially outwardly transversely offset is equipped with twist prevention device in the form of a mouth opening which is designed open at the edges and has a receiving pocket as a guide pin receiver so as to define a fixedly positioned friction lining floating bearing (B),
• wherein the hole is formed as a partially circular window with defined maximum height (h) and defined maximum width (b), the maximum height (h) of the partially circular window being at least slightly larger than the maximum width (b), and
• wherein the hole is sized to enable an automatic self cleaning function of the disc brake lining due to movement of the retaining pin within the hole relative to the disc brake lining.
