  • Patent number: 11137042
    Abstract: A wear monitoring device of a disk brake includes a brake disk, a first brake lining on a first face of the brake disk, and a second brake lining on a second face of the brake disk, in particular for commercial vehicles. The wear monitoring device has a first sensor unit that quantitatively ascertains the cumulative wear of the first and second brake linings. The wear monitoring device outputs, at the output connection of the first sensor unit, a first electrical output signal that is associated with the cumulative wear. A signal line is connected on the one hand to the output connection of the first sensor unit and on the other hand to an evaluating unit. The signal line is arranged in such a manner that, when a predetermined first wear limit of the first or second brake lining is reached, the signal line comes into contact with a stop.

  • Patent number: 9933028
    Abstract: A caliper disc brake of a vehicle has a brake disc with an axis of rotation, a brake caliper, a brake anchor plate, a force transmission element, such asa lining support and/or a pressure plate, a holding-down spring for holding down the force transmission element, and a holding-down device (36) which is held and supported on the caliper by a holding device, which pretensions the holding-down spring adially against the force transmission device and tangentially in the direction of rotation against the force transmission device during forwards travel. The holding device has a center line parallel to the axis of rotation. The tangential pre-tensioning is at least partially due to the dimensions (V1, V2) of the holding-down device in the tangential direction from the center line (M) being larger on the disc exit side than on the disc entry side.
