Zusammenfassung:A brake application device for a disk brake system includes an arm-shaped reference element for detecting any deformation caused to the brake application device when braking. The novel brake application device allows braking torque to be determined with a comparatively small degree of expenditure and in a simple manner. The brake application device of the invention therefore has a flexible zone which is bent during braking as a function of the braking torque. Adjacent to the flexible zone a braking torque sensor having an arm-shaped reference element and a sensor element which is shifted by the bending are provided. A particularly preferred embodiment refers to the system being supplemented by a brake application force sensing device.
