Abstract: A disc brake, especially for utility vehicles, which includes a caliper enclosing a brake disc, a pneumatically or electromotively operated tensioning device for tensioning the brake, which is located in the caliper, a magnet wheel rotating with the brake disc, and a stationary sensor for detecting the angle of rotation and the speed of the magnet wheel. The sensor is mounted at a distance from the magnet wheel and at least one line is connected to transmit pulses between the sensor and the magnet wheel. As a result, the sensor can be mounted on the housing protected from the action of heat and other environmental influences and so as to be easily accessible.

Abstract: Control electronics integrated in a brake, preferably a disc brake, are provided in particular for utility vehicles. The disc brake includes a brake caliper covering a brake disc and a brake application device with pneumatic or electromotive actuation, located in the brake caliper and used for applying the brake. The control electronics monitors specific parameters of the brake and regulates braking components and is connected to a power supply. The control electronics is characterized in that it includes at least one transmitter/receiver unit which is in active connection with a sensor external to the brake, pertaining to the wheel or proximate the wheel.

Abstract: An electronic circuit configuration for optionally connecting an active rotary speed sensor or a passive rotary speed sensor to an electronic control unit of a commercial vehicle.

Abstract: An electronic circuit configuration for connecting an active rotary speed sensor.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically commutated DC motor is provided, the DC motor including at least one particularly permanent magnetic rotor and a wound stator, which is a drive motor for an adjuster device on a pneumatically operated disc brake. The rotor position is determined from electrically measured parameters without sensing of the rotor position. The invention is characterized in that two determination methods for determining the rotor position from electrically measured parameters are combined with each other, whereby one is an inductive measurement and a further one of the determination methods is a measurement of the inducted voltage.
