Brake linings are the consumable surfaces in brake systems, such as drum brakes and disc brakes used in transport vehicles.
In this view of an automobile disc brake, the brake pad is the black material held by the red brake caliper. The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged.
