  • DEVICE FOR REGISTERING THE BRAKE APPLICATION FORCES BETWEEN A BRAKE MEMBER AND A BRAKE ROTOR OF A DISC OR DRUM BRAKE
    Publication number: 20240384769
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the clamping forces between a brake body (1) and a brake rotor (2) of a disc brake or drum brake comprises a multi-layer measuring film (3) that can be inserted between the brake body (1) and the brake rotor (2) and which multi-layer measuring film (3) comprises a sensor layer (6) with pressure-dependent changing electrical properties and two electrically conductive layers (7) connected to an evaluation device (5). For assignment of the determined clamping forces to the area of the sensor layer (6) exposed to the respective pressurization, the measuring film (3) has two electrode layers (8) connected to the evaluation device (5) for determining the film capacitance between the electrode layers (8).

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FIBER-REINFORCED CARBIDE CERAMIC COMPONENT AND CARBIDE CERAMIC COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20090239434
    Abstract: A method of producing a fiber-reinforced carbide-ceramic component includes producing a carbonaceous article from at least one unidirectional tape by pyrolysis, infiltrating the carbonaceous article with carbide former, and coating the at least one unidirectional tape with a coating material being volatile in pyrolysis and/or providing the at least one unidirectional tape with a transverse thread system including transverse threads composed of a material being volatile in pyrolysis. A fiber-reinforced carbide ceramic component is also provided.
