Abstract

The invention relates to a braking body for a rail car, especially a brake block or disk brake pad, comprising a supporting body with recesses and friction material elements arranged in the recesses. The friction material elements form a friction surface with the supporting body and are mounted with elastic or tilting elements such that the frictional material elements can move in the longitudinal direction of the recesses and adapt themselves to the running surface of a rail wheel.
