METHOD AND SENSOR FOR MEASURING WEAR IN BRAKES

摘要

Wear in a brake (11) is measured by measuring a distance (L1) when the friction material (16b, 20b) of both pads (16, 20) of the brake is engaging the disc (12) thereof. The distance (L1) is measured from a point on said first pad (16) to a point whose distance from said first pad (16) at that time, depends on the wear of the friction material (16b, 20b) and/or the disc (12).
