A brake disc for disc brakes on rail vehicles comprises an intermediate member connected to the inner peripheral surface of an annular element. The intermediate member is spaced radially from a hub and there are a pair of radially opposed annular grooves in the hub and intermediate member with blocks of resilient material in the opposed grooves. The blocks are pre-stressed and completely occupy the widths of the grooves. Heat inhibiting material is provided for inhibiting heat flow from the annular braking element to the resilient blocks.

Brake disc for disc brakes on rail vehicles

In order to prevent the assembly of an unspecified brake lining onto a brake lining support for a brake shoe a face of the brake lining support is provided with guide means of a particular section and the mounting face of the brake lining is provided with counter-guide means having an inverted mirror section with respect to the brake lining support guide means. In this manner only a brake lining having a particular counter-guide means can be assembled on a brake lining support having a particular guide means.
