Abstract:
1. A method of producing a friction element comprising a friction lining made from sintered material, which is applied to a support, and at least two recesses are provided in the support, each for accommodating a connecting element for fitting the support with the friction lining on a supporting element, wherein the friction lining has a friction surface and a cut-out is provided in and extends continuously through the friction lining which surrounds at least two regions spaced apart from one another in which the at least two recesses of the support for accommodating the connecting elements are disposed, wherein both the cut-out and the at least two recesses are within the friction surface, wherein the cut-out has a larger diameter than the at least two recesses so that a collar is formed, and wherein the connecting elements sit on the collar when the support is secured to the supporting element.
