  • Method and device for determining a braking torque on a braking system for a rail vehicle
    Patent number: 10071715
    Abstract: A method for determining a braking torque on a braking system for a rail vehicle. The braking system associated with at least one wheel or at least one wheelset includes at least one brake disc for generating a braking force in response to at least one brake signal, at least one brake lining interacting with the brake disc and a brake caliper connected to the brake lining and a brake housing and a securing bracket. The brake caliper is mounted together with a brake housing in at least one first bearing point and a second bearing point, the second bearing point is at a distance from the first bearing point at a predefined bearing distance, a first sensor for providing a first measuring signal and a second sensor for providing a second measuring signal are arranged on the brake housing or between the housing and the bracket.
