Abstract

A brake disk includes a ring body in a ring groove on a side of a friction ring which is not acted upon for connecting the mutually opposite ends of friction ring segments with one another. The ring bodies prevent an expanding of the juncture caused by centrifugal force as well as a radial relative displacement of the ends of the ring segments, while a limited relative rotation of the faces of the ring segments is possible when an air gap exists at the juncture.
