BRAKE PAD AND CALIPER DEVICE

摘要

A brake pad (10) capable of braking a rotating disc (200) is provided with the following: a friction material (12) provided on the disc (200) side; and a back plate (11) joined to the side of the friction material (12) facing away from the disc (200). The center of the back plate (11) with respect to the direction of rotation of the disc (200) is thicker than the edges of the back plate (11) with respect to the direction of rotation of the disc (200). The minimum thickness (h1, in mm) of the edges of the back plate (11) with respect to the direction of rotation of the disc (200) and the maximum thickness (h2, in mm) of the center of the back plate (11) with respect to the direction of rotation of the disc (200) preferably satisfy the relation h2-h1 < 3.
