FRICTION LINING WITH A STEEL WIRE BOW SPRING

摘要

A friction lining with a wire bow spring including leg springs for the radially clastic support of the friction lining on a housing bridge of a brake caliper, wherein the back plate has a receptacle for a friction-lining wear sensor, and wherein a steel wire bow spring is a symmetrical to at least one longitudinal axis, and the wire bow spring is symmetrical to an imaginary transverse axis arranged rotated by a 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the steel wire bow has a central U-bow for the friction-lining wear sensor, and wherein the U-bow is designed to be open at the top, the friction-lining wear sensor is accommodated integrated in the central U-bow and the U-bow is substantially larger than the friction-lining wear sensor, and therefore the friction-lining wear sensor can be mounted in the radial direction in the receptacle in the back plate.

1. A friction lining comprising:
a wire bow spring which serves by way of spring legs for the radially elastic support of the friction lining on a housing guide rail of a brake caliper, the wire bow spring being fastened to a rear plate of the friction lining, and, furthermore, the rear plate having a receptacle for a friction lining wear sensor for wear detection in a motor vehicle partially lined disk brake, wherein the wire bow spring is of asymmetrical configuration in relation to at least one imaginary longitudinal axis, in that the wire bow spring is of symmetrical configuration in relation to at least one imaginary transverse axis Q which is arranged rotated by 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis L, the wire bow spring has a central U-bow for receiving the friction lining wear sensor and the U-bow being configured so as to be open at the top in such a way that the friction lining wear sensor is received in an integrated manner in the central U-bow, and the U-bow being provided so as to be substantially larger than the friction lining wear sensor, with the result that the friction lining wear sensor can be mounted in the receptacle of the rear plate in a positionally correct manner in the radial direction (R).
