Abstract
A brake lining for partial-lining disk brakes, particularly of rail vehicles, wherein several friction or lining elements are provided which can be fastened to a support plate individually or in groups, in which case several support plates are arranged either directly on the lining holder of the disk brake arrangement or on a lining support which can be fastened to the lining holder. For rendering the surface pressure generated during the braking uniform, the support plates are swivellably linked to the lining support or lining holder, in the case of a group-like assignment, several (at least two) lining elements being swivellably arranged on the support plate. In the center of gravity of lining elements which are assigned to one another in groups, the respective direct introduction point of the lining contact pressure forces is situated, in which case centers of gravity of the surfaces of lining element groups assigned to one another in the triangle each have the higher-ranking position of the introduction of force of the brake operating elements.
