Wear Sensor

摘要

An assembly (1) for detecting the wear of a brake pad of a disk brake, wherein said assembly comprises at least one sensor body (2) and at least one spring (4), said assembly being suitable for cooperating with said pad (10) which comprises a support plate (11), suitable for being supported by the disk brake, and to which there is associated friction material (12), suitable for to coming into contact with braking surfaces of a disk-brake disk, and wherein said at least one sensor body (2) is coupled geometrically to said support plate (11), said at least one spring (4) surrounding said at least one sensor body (2) so that said at least one spring (4) is positioned in said geometric coupling between said at least one sensor body (2) and said plate (11) and presenting projections (41) for the snap-coupling to said support plate (11), and wherein said at least one spring (4) has indentations (42) bent towards the at least one sensor body (2) for constraining said at least one spring (4) to said at least one sensor body (2), wherein said indentations (42) comprise end or terminal sections (43) of the spring with at least one of their edges (44) facing towards the at least one body (2).

1. Assembly for detecting the wear of a brake pad of a disk brake, wherein said assembly comprises at least one sensor body and at least one spring, said assembly being suitable for cooperating with said pad which comprises a support plate, suitable for being supported by the disk brake, and to which friction material is associated, suitable for coming into contact with braking surfaces of a disk-brake disk and wherein;
said at least one sensor body is coupled to said support plate, so as to detect the wear of the friction material caused by braking actions, said assembly having an insertion direction (S-S) into a corresponding seat of the plate, parallel to a radial direction of the brake disk; said at least one spring surrounding said at least one sensor body, so that said at least one spring is arranged in said geometric coupling between said at least one sensor body and said seat in said plate and having projections for the snap-coupling with said support plate, characterised in that; said at least one spring has indentations folded towards said insertion direction (S-S) of the assembly for constraining said at least one spring to said at least one sensor body, wherein; said indentations comprise end or terminal sections of the spring with at least one edge thereof facing towards the at least one body.
