Abstract
A drum brake with a carrier, a deformation sensor, and at least one brake shoe. The carrier is connected to a supporting bearing for the at least one brake shoe. The deformation sensor is designed to determine a deformation of the carrier. A brake system includes at least one such drum brake, and a vehicle with such a brake system or with at least one such drum brake.
Claims13
A drum brake, comprising:
- at least one brake shoe;
- a carrier connected to a supporting bearing for the at least one brake shoe;
- and
- a deformation sensor configured to determine a deformation of the carrier,
- wherein the carrier has a lower stiffness than the supporting bearing, and/or
- wherein the carrier has an intended deformation region that has a lower stiffness than the supporting bearing.
