"CALIPER AND SUPPORT ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD"

The present invention relates to a caliper and support assembly (1) for a disc brake unexpectedly capable of detecting the braking action, wherein said caliper and support assembly (1) comprising a brake caliper (3) comprising a caliper body (5), adapted to straddle an associable disc (2) of the disc brake; said caliper and support assembly (1) comprising a supporting structure (4) connected to said caliper body (5); and wherein said supporting structure (4) comprises a first fixing portion (7) and a second fixing portion (8) adapted to connect integrally with a vehicle, and a connecting portion (6) adapted to connect the caliper body (5) to the first fixing portion (7) at least along a direction parallel to said axial direction (X-X) or along a direction parallel to said radial direction (R-R), wherein this connection allows a free movement of the caliper body (5) relative to said supporting structure (4) along a predetermined direction (P-P), wherein said predetermined direction (P-P) is incident to said axial direction (X-X) and to said radial direction (R-R) or to directions parallel thereto; and wherein said caliper and support assembly (1) comprises a constraining element (9) configured to connect the caliper body (5) to the second fixing portion (8) along said predetermined direction (P-P) preventing said free movement of the caliper body (5); and wherein during the braking action said constraining element (9) elastically deforms according to at least said predetermined direction (P-P), resulting in a displacement of the caliper body (5) relative to the supporting structure (4) in at least said predetermined direction (P-P); said caliper and support assembly (1) comprises at least one detecting device (10) which either directly or indirectly detects the displacement of said caliper body (5) relative to the supporting structure (4) along at least said predetermined direction (P-P). La présente invention concerne un ensemble étrier et support (1) pour un frein à disque capable de détecter de manière inattendue l'action de freinage, ledit ensemble étrier et support (1) comprenant un étrier de frein (3) comprenant un corps d'étrier (5), conçu pour chevaucher un disque pouvant être associé (2) du frein à disque ; ledit ensemble étrier et support (1) comprenant une structure de support (4) reliée au dit corps d'étrier (5) ; et ladite structure de support (4) comprend une première partie de fixation (7) et une seconde partie de fixation (8) conçues pour êt
