Pad for calipers of disk brakes

摘要

The present invention relates to a pad ( 1 ) for disk brakes, comprising a plate ( 3 ) for supporting a friction material ( 2 ), characterized in that the plate ( 3 ) is made substantially of a composite ceramic material or of a composite powder-metallurgical material. The pad ( 1 ) has excellent lightness whilst its strength remains unchanged. Moreover the pad ( 1 ) advantageously enables the transmission of heat towards the piston to be reduced.
