Abstract
A disc brake comprising a rotor and a stator wherein the rotor and/or the stator includes a mounting member provided with a friction lining formed at least in part by a plurality of graphite plates, each plate having two flat side faces and a peripheral surface which is perpendicular to the two flat side faces, each plate being received in a recess in a side face of the mounting member, each recess having a flat bottom surface and being of a depth less than the thickness of the plate, the side wall of the recess being parallel to the peripheral surface of the plate and spaced from the peripheral surface of the plate by a distance greater than that necessary to permit thermal expansion and contraction between the mounting member and the plate. The graphite plates of one of the rotor and the stator are formed of polycrystalline graphite and the other of the rotor and the stator is formed and/or has graphite plates formed of structural graphite.
