  • Floating caliper brakes require only relatively small space, so that a floating caliper brakes can be better placed at a lower height Ver ⁇ equal to fixed caliper brakes by this structure.
  • floating caliper brakes have a high efficiency and are relatively simple in construction and maintenance. So in particular friction or brake pads in a short time it will be exchanged. In an even lighter design with smaller dimensions, the floating caliper disc brake is used as a so-called pendulum caliper brake on motorcycles.

  • the term "currently acting braking force” is understood to mean a force acting between the friction linings and the brake disk in a direction normal to the brake disk surface, which force is caused on the brake disk by friction linings pressed to decelerate.
  • various approaches are known from the prior art. These approaches build üb ⁇ SHORT- on to a deformation of an introduced into the power flow ei ⁇ ner brake sensor element.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de mesurer une force normale active sur un frein à disque, du type de ceux utilisés dans des automobiles. L'invention vise à perfectionner un dispositif pour mesurer une force normale active, avec une réduction sensible d'un encombrement requis en plus dans la zone d'un frein à disque et par abaissement d'une sensibilité vis-à-vis d'influences thermiques. A cet effet, il est prévu qu'un mouvement de cisaillement d'une partie du frein à disque par rapport à une référence soit enregistré par un détecteur, afin de conclure à une force normale exercée au moment présent, sur la base d'un signal de mesure fourni par le détecteur dans une logique de traitement de signaux de mesure.
