Abstract
A fastening device for a vehicle disc brake having a brake carrier includes holding fixture formed in the brake carrier for receiving a speed sensor. The brake carrier includes fastening members for mounting to a flange of the vehicle. The speed sensor is used for an anti-lock braking system to detect wheel slip. The holding fixture is in the form of a bore. The bore may be formed in the strut facing the axle or in an extension of one of the fastening members of the brake carrier. The speed sensor is aligned in its extension direction axially with an exciter in or on the brake disc or in the axle. The speed sensor is attached to a cable that does not need to be guided past the vehicle flange.
Claims20
A fastening device (1, 100) for a disc brake (10) having a brake carrier (11), wherein the brake carrier (11) comprises two struts (12, 12a) arranged in parallel to a brake disc (40), wherein the struts (12, 12a) comprise, in their extension direction, two end sections (15, 15a) and the struts (12, 12a) are connected to each other at their two end sections (15, 15a) via two connecting elements (14, 14a), wherein the struts (12) each comprise fastening members (16, 16a, 16b) for flange-mounting onto a vehicle axle (30),
- wherein the fastening device (1;
- 100) comprises a holding fixture (17) formed in the brake carrier (11), wherein the holding fixture is configured for accommodating a speed sensor (2) for detecting a wheel speed (D).
A disc brake (10) comprising:
- a brake carrier (11) and
- a sliding saddle (23) slidingly mounted on the brake carrier (11), and
- a fastening device (1, 100),
- wherein the brake carrier (11) includes two struts (12, 12a) arranged in parallel to a brake disc (40), wherein the struts (12, 12a) include, in their extension direction, two end sections (15, 15a) and the struts (12, 12a) are connected to each other at their two end sections (15, 15a) via two connecting elements (14, 14a), wherein the struts (12) each comprise fastening portions (16, 16a, 16b) for flange-mounting onto a vehicle axle (30),
- wherein the fastening device (1, 100) comprises a holding fixture (17) formed in the brake carrier (11), wherein the holding fixture is configured for accommodating a speed sensor (2) for detecting a wheel speed (D).
A vehicle (50) comprising:
- a vehicle axle (30) and
- a disc brake (10) arranged on the vehicle axle (30),
- wherein the disc brake (10) comprises:
- a brake carrier (11), and
- a fastening device (1, 100),
- wherein the brake carrier (11) comprises two struts (12, 12a) arranged in parallel to a brake disc (40), wherein the struts (12, 12a) comprise, in their extension direction, two end sections (15, 15a) and the struts (12, 12a) are connected to each other at their two end sections (15, 15a) via two connecting elements (14, 14a), wherein the struts (12) each comprise fastening portions (16, 16a, 16b) for flange-mounting onto the vehicle axle (30),
- wherein the brake carrier has an axle-side portion and an opposite-side portion disposed, such that the axle-side portion and the opposite-side portion are disposed on opposite axial sides of the brake disc, wherein the connecting elements extend axially across an axial extent of the brake disc,
- wherein the fastening device (1, 100) comprises a holding fixture (17) formed in the brake carrier (11), wherein the holding fixture is configured for accommodating a speed sensor (2) for detecting a wheel speed (D),
- wherein the holding fixture is disposed on the axle-side portion of the brake carrier.
