MEASURING ARRANGEMENT FOR MEASURING THE CLAMPING FORCE OF A DISC BRAKE AND A CORRESPONDING DISC BRAKE

摘要

A measuring arrangement measures the application force of a disc brake. The arrangement includes two disc brake components displaceable relative to each other upon application of the force; an application force sensor having a housing; a measuring object formed by one of the two components and having a metal end face for interacting with the application force sensor in a contact-free manner, and an evaluation unit. The application force sensor is an eddy current sensor for capturing a displacement along the path. The evaluation unit converts the captured displacement into a measurement variable as a measure for the application force. The application force sensor and the measurement object are removably mounted on the respective component.
