PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a press molding machine capable of reducing variation in thickness dimension and density of a molded article, a press molding method using the press molding machine, and a disc brake pad obtained by the press molding machine and the press molding method. SOLUTION: The press molding machine has a large number of molding cavities and molds an article by inserting a back metal and a friction member as a molding material in the cavities. Each of slave cylinders corresponding to each of the molding cavities is made to communicate with each other via a pressure medium. A die, to which the molding cavities are arranged, is made vertically movable. Oil pressure in each of the slave cylinders is increased by the pressing pressure generated by a piston of the molding machine. The inside of each cavity is compressed by an isobaric piston. A plurality of the molded articles are simultaneously molded by applying uniform pressure to each of the cavities using the press molding machine in the press molding method. The disc brake pad can be obtained by the press molding machine and the press molding method. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
