Method and device for the production of brake linings or clutch linings made of pressing materials that are bonded by means of a bonding agent

A Method of producing friction linings made from pressing material bonded by means of a binder, comprising the steps of:

• filling the pressing material into a mould,
• pressing the pressing material with at least one ram-like pressing tool, and
• drawing off gaseous or vaporous media which are contained in the mould or are produced during the pressing operation from the mould, while the pressure exerted by the pressing tool on the friction lining is maintained at least at a reduced level, wherein the gaseous or vaporous media to be drawn off diffuse out and are then drawn off through a gap which is produced at least at times during the pressing operation between the friction lining and an appertaining complementary lateral wall of the mould.
