Abstract

See full text

A wear sensing system for the brake linings of a vehicle. Since the sensors are mounted within the brake mechanism, the reduction in the disc thickness must be taken into account to supply an accurate reading. A non-volatile memory stores the position of the brake before replacement and is compared to the position after replacement. However, the latter reading is established only after a predetermined number of brake applications to take up any starting clearances.
