SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING BRAKE WEAR

DRIVE January 3, 2024
Source
A system for determining brake wear based on hydraulic fluid volume may comprise a brake actuator (80) and a fluid supply line (92) fluidly coupled to the brake actuator. The brake actuator may include a brake ram (96) configured to translate in response to changes in fluid pressure in the brake actuator. A piston (102) may be fluidly coupled between a first portion of the fluid supply line and a second portion of the fluid supply line. The piston may include a cylinder (104) and a ram (106) configured to translate within the cylinder. A first sensor (120) may be operably coupled to the piston.
