Abstract

See full text

A brake assembly includes a sensor mounted to a brake component, and which is in communication with a transceiver. The sensor provides position information of the brake component, which is combined with known mechanical relationships between various brake components, to determine a wear state of a brake pad and a clearance between the brake pad and a rotor. The clearance is then adjusted based on signals from the sensor and the known mechanical relationship between the various brake components to maintain the clearance within desired limits.
