- calculating the operating variable based on the bearing force.
A drum brake assembly comprising:
- at least one brake shoe,
- at least one supporting bearing,
- at least one force sensor on the supporting bearing for measuring a bearing force produced in the supporting bearing by the brake shoe, and
