Abstract: A metallic support of a brake pad delimited between a first and a second face, and having a perimeter edge substantially perpendicular to the first and second faces. The first face receives a block or layer of friction material, and the second face receives a dampening element. The first face has at least one projecting part extending cantilevered spaced apart from the perimeter edge so as to be completely embedded within the block or layer of friction material. The at least one projecting part is delimited at the top by a first surface upon which there is at least one first cavity filled with the block or layer of friction material. The second face has at least one second cavity forged as the at least one projecting part. At the at least one first cavity, there is at least one first relief shaped as the at least one first cavity.

Abstract: A method in which at least one piezoceramic sensor, which converts every mechanical force to which it is subjected into an electrical signal and having a Curie temperature higher than 200° C., is solidarized directly onto the surface of a metal support element of a vehicle braking element, which during use faces a vehicle element to be braked. While in contact with such a surface, an electrical circuit is implemented that picks up and eventually processes the electrical signal, the electrical circuit being connected with a connector integrated with the metal support element. An electrically insulating layer sandwiches the at least one piezoceramic sensor and the electrical circuit, and a block of friction material with an underlying damping layer is formed upon the electrically insulating layer. After forming the block of friction material, the piezoceramic sensor is polarized by applying a predetermined potential difference thereto by means of the connector.

Abstract: Various braking devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the braking device includes a support element, a block of friction material supported by the support element, at least one piezoceramic sensor supported by the support element and interposed between the block of friction material (and the support element, and a protective element located at the piezoceramic sensor and embedding the latter. The protective element can have one or more layers of resin-based material applied to protect the piezoceramic sensor and direct a predetermined part of the external compression force onto an area of the support element surrounding the piezoceramic sensor. In some embodiments, a signal transduction device is provided and includes at least one piezoceramic sensor supported on a support element and has an integral protective coating having properties of mechanical and temperature resistance.

Abstract: Method for the production of braking elements for vehicles, in particular brake pads, including a die forming step by means of fine and/or traditional shearing of a metal support and a molding step upon the metal support of a block of friction material; the friction material is selected from the group of asbestos free materials, while the metal plate is made of an aluminum alloy selected from the group consisting of aluminum alloys subjected to precipitation hardening (age-hardening alloys) and is made from the fine and/or traditional shearing of a metal sheet when the alloy is in a solubilized state; the alloy, being aged during a friction material baking step, gains its mechanical properties needed for its operation.

Abstract: Methods and devices for estimating a residual torque between the braked (e.g., brake disk or drum) and braking elements (e.g., support plate or friction block) of a vehicle based on acquired and reference temperatures, where the reference temperature can be calculated using an N-dimensional calculation model with an N-dimensional vector of input variables, and where said N-dimensional calculation model can be an analytical or experimental characterization of the thermal behavior of the brake.

Abstract: A friction material is discloses for a braking pad comprising a binder comprising a mixture of a phenolic resin or a phenol formaldehyde resin and of a thermoplastic. The total amount of said phenolic resin or phenol formaldehyde resin and of said thermoplastic is between 2 and 60% in volume of said friction material. The ratio in volume between phenolic resin or phenol formaldehyde resin and the thermoplastic is from 20 to 80% in volume. Preferably the thermoplastic has a melting temperature between 120° and 350° C. and comprises a polyamide or a thermoplastic polymer with N—H bond, either in the backbone or in the pendant group. More preferably the thermoplastic material is chosen in the group constituted by PA4, PA6, PA1, PA11, PA12, PA410, PA610, PA66, PA612.
