Assembly for measuring a displacement distance produced by a braking force
An assembly for determining a measurement quantity for a braking force acting on a brake, including a carrier and a brake holder. The aim of the invention is for the assembly to enable precise and reproducible measurements of a measurement quantity characteristic of the braking force. This aim is achieved in that the brake holder is arranged in such a way that the brake holder can be elastically and laterally displaced with respect to the carrier, wherein the brake holder is fastened to the carrier by at least one elastic bending element, wherein a sensor device is provided for determining the displacement distance of the brake holder with respect to the carrier.
