Zusammenfassung:The present invention concerns a sensor system for monitoring at least the wear of lining material of a disc brake. It may also be used to monitor the stroke of the brake actuator. The sensor system receives signals from a first external and/or internal means and a second sensor means indicative of at least two different conditions of the brake. The major part of the sensor system is received on a cap to be fixed to the caliper and giving a measuring reference. The first means monitors the occurrence of a brake movement. The second sensor means monitors the actual position of a part indicating the wear of the brake lining material and/or the stroke of the brake actuator.
