BRAKE PAD AND CALIPER DEVICE

摘要

This brake pad (10) is used in an opposed-type caliper device (100), brakes a rotating disc (200), and is provided with a friction member (12) disposed on the side of the disc (200) and a back plate (11) linked to the side of the friction member (12) opposite of the disc (200). Further, the back plate (11) is configured from a back plate composition that includes a resin and multiple fibers. Further, the back plate (11) is provided with an engagement unit (111) into which can be inserted an attachment unit (70) for attaching a brake pad provided on the caliper device (100), and which engages with the inserted attachment unit, and the thickness of the back plate (11) at the position where the engagement unit (111) is provided is greater than that of the back plate (11) at positions where the engagement unit (111) is not provided.
