Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and device are provided for indicating wear of at least one brake pad in a disc brake having an electric motor actuator. The method adds up wear adjustment travel paths of the electric motor actuator and/or of an adjustment motor, and indicates the sum of the wear adjustment paths so obtained as the wear of the brake pad or as a residual brake pad service life.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for indicating wear or residual brake pad thickness of at least one brake pad in a disc brake having an electric motor actuator for performing braking of the disc brake, the method comprising the acts of: determining wear adjustment travels of the electric motor actuator through position of the electric motor actuator; adding the wear adjustment travels of the electric motor actuator; indicating the wear or residual brake pad thickness of the at least one brake pad based on a sum of the wear adjustment travels, wherein determining the wear adjustment travel further comprises the acts of: registering a first position prior to a closing movement of the brake pad; registering a second position after a lifting of the brake pad; and comparing the first position with the second position, wherein the lift of the brake pad occurs over a constant travel, to determine the wear adjustment travel. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wear adjustment travel is determined at predefined intervals as a function of at least one of time and an operating parameter of the disc brake.
