Abstract: A friction assembly has a support plate, at least one brake pad and at least one reinforcing foil of the plate. The brake pad and the support plate are co-moulded from at least one heat-resistant resin. The reinforcing foil is fixed to the support plate via anchoring projections, joined to and which extend away from the foil, embedded in the resin to prevent or limit deformations of the support plate in the use of the assembly.

Abstract: A method for detecting and measuring a clamping force and/or a braking torque includes encapsulating a fiber-optic strain sensor in a casing and incorporating the casing in a portion of friction material adhering to a base platform of a brake pad, detecting, by the fiber-optic strain sensor, a first strain in a first position of the casing along a first direction and a second strain in a second position of the friction material along a second direction, generating a first photonic signal, representative of the first detected strain, and a second photonic signal, representative of the second detected strain, receiving the first and second photonic signals, by an optical reading/interrogation unit, optically connected to the fiber-optic strain sensor, determining, by the optical reading/interrogation unit, the values of the first and second strains based on the first and second received photonic signals and determining a measurement of the clamping force and/or braking torque based on determined values of the first and second strains.

Abstract: Friction assembly (1) comprising a support plate (2) and at least one brake pad (4), made by co-molding of at least one heat-resistant resin, the heat-resistant resin of the support plate (2) being partially loaded with non-metallic reinforcement fibers. The support plate (2) identifies one or more accessory-connection seat, made by co-molding. This invention further relates to a method for the manufacture of a friction assembly and a brake calliper.
