Abstract

See full text

An improved structure for a brake pad adapted for use in a disc brake assembly. The brake pad includes a backing plate and a friction pad. The friction pad includes a lengthwise axis of symmetry. The brake pad is adapted to align a friction pad area centroid relative to a piston applied pressure centroid to reduce friction pad tangential taper wear. The force centroid axis and the area centroid axis further define an offset such that the offset diminishes during a braking event.
