A braking band extends between an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The braking band has two plates having inner surfaces delimiting a gap, outer surfaces having opposite flat circumferential portions and a plate body having an extension in axial direction. The plates are joined by connecting elements. At least one plate has at least one projection projecting into the gap without reaching the opposite plate, forming a localized narrowing of the gap and a thickening of the plate body, creating a localized increase of the thickness of plate. The projection extends from a first connecting element to an adjacent connecting element, connecting them, and along the circumferential direction, connecting at least two adjacent connecting elements. A group of projections extends circumferentially along a discontinuous annular path, avoiding a uniform distribution in circumferential direction.
