Self-Boosting Electromechanical Disk Brake

A self-boosting electromechanical disk brake, comprising:

• an electromechanical actuating device;
• a friction brake lining disposed on a lining carrier plate;
• a brake disk which is pressed against by the friction brake lining upon actuation of the electromechanical actuating device;
• and
• a self-booster device interposed between the electromechanical actuating device and the friction brake lining, the self-booster device converting a frictional force, exerted by rotation of the brake disk against the friction brake lining pressed against the brake disk, into a contact pressure of the self-booster device, which presses the friction brake lining against the brake disk in addition to a contact pressure exerted by the electromechanical actuating device, wherein the lining carrier plate comprises a composite material.
