Sensor device for a brake system, actuator device for a brake system, and a brake system for a motor vehicle

Abstract

A sensor device for a brake system of a motor vehicle is provided. The sensor device includes a vibration sensor configured to be attached to a brake component of a brake system. The vibration sensor is configured to detect structural vibrations in the brake component. The sensor device further includes an evaluation unit which is communicatively coupled to the vibration sensor. The evaluation unit is configured to estimate, from sensor signals from the vibration sensor, a clamping force between a body-side brake component and a vehicle-wheel-side brake component of the brake system which interacts with the body-side brake component during the braking process.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
