Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A brake monitoring system comprises a wear pin that is operatively connected to a brake to be monitored, wherein the wear pin can translate along a longitudinal axis of the wear pin and not rotate about the longitudinal axis; a wear gear rotationally affixed to the wear pin to enable the wear gear to rotate as the wear pin translates; and a counting device operatively adjacent the wear gear, wherein the counting device measures one of an amount of rotation of the wear gear and a rate of rotation of the wear gear.
