BRAKE APPLICATION DEVICE FOR A DISK BRAKE SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a brake application device (1) for a disk brake system, said brake application device comprising an arm-shaped reference element (37) for detecting any deformation caused to the brake application device when braking. The aim of the invention is to provide a brake application device of the above type which allows braking torque to be determined with a comparatively small degree of expenditure and in a simple manner. The brake application device (1) of the invention therefore has a flexible zone (35) which is bent during braking as a function of the braking torque. Adjacent to the flexible zone (35) a braking torque sensor (36) having an arm-shaped reference element (37) and a sensor element (39) which is shifted by the bending are provided. A particularly preferred embodiment refers to the system being supplemented by a brake application force sensing device (50).
