Abstract
A brake lining wear monitor is disclosed for a brake assembly having a body and a friction lining having an operative face adapted to be applied to a brake rotor. The monitor includes an actuator which applies the brake lining to the rotor, an adjuster driven by the actuator to maintain the linings in close proximity to the brake motor, and having a wheel, and a wear sensor responsive to actuation movement of the brake which is housed within the body of the brake itself without increasing the overall package size of the brake. The wear sensor is driven from the wheel of the adjuster with an end of the sensor remote from the wheel being formed into a connector to provide a compact and integrated unit which can be removed from the brake for service without dismantling the brake assembly itself.
