The utility model relates to brake equipment. The utility model relates to a brake block, and aims to provide an improved brake block for a power-off brake. The brake block has the characteristics oflong service life, high connection strength of a brake material, simplicity and quickness in installation and maintenance and high production efficiency. According to the technical scheme, the brake block for the power-off brake comprises a sheet-shaped metal framework provided with a plurality of positioning holes and a brake material layer bonded to the sheet-shaped metal framework. The brake pad is characterized in that the brake material layer is fixed on the working surface of the sheet metal framework; cross-shaped protruding strips are arranged on the working face, and pits matched withthe protruding strips are formed in the bonding face of the brake material layer; and when the brake material layer is bonded and fixed with the metal framework through adhesive glue, the protrudingstrips are filled into the corresponding pits and are bonded and fixed with the wall parts of the pits through adhesive glue.
