A brake assembly that includes a brake pad assembly, a sensor unit, and a clip. The brake pad assembly has a table and friction material that extends from the table. The sensor unit is mounted to the table. The clip that straddles the sensor unit, engages the friction material, and is spaced apart from the table.

Brake assembly having a sensor unit

A brake assembly that includes a brake pad assembly, a pad spring, and a sensor unit. The brake pad assembly includes friction material disposed on a backplate. The pad spring is mounted to the backplate. The sensor unit straddles the backplate and extends from the backplate to the pad spring.

A system and method of checking sealing of a brake caliper housing. The method may include determining a level of moisture in a cavity of a brake caliper housing with a sensor. In another configuration, the method may determine whether a detected pressure inside the cavity remains stable for a predetermined period of time.

System and method of checking sealing of a brake caliper housing

A brake caliper housing and a method of checking sealing of a brake caliper housing. The brake caliper housing may include a cavity, a guide pin opening, and an internal passage. The guide pin opening may receive a guide pin that facilitates sliding movement of the brake caliper housing. The internal passage may extend from the cavity to the guide pin opening.

A brake assembly having a retraction spring. The retraction spring may be mounted to a first brake pad module and a second brake pad module. The retraction spring may have an anti-rotation feature that inhibits rotation of the retraction spring. The anti-rotation feature may engage the first brake pad module.

Brake assembly having a retraction spring

A brake assembly having a brake pad assembly, a clip, and a sensor unit. The brake pad assembly has friction material that extends from a table. The clip straddles and engages the table. The sensor unit straddles the clip and the table such that the sensor unit engages opposing sides of the clip.

A brake system and a method of monitoring and control. The method may include obtaining data indicative of temperature of a plurality of brake assemblies and determining at least one correlation value based on the temperature data. A mean temperature comparison may be conducted when a correlation value is less than a threshold correlation value.

Brake system and method of monitoring

A brake assembly and a method of adjusting a brake assembly. A tool may be insertable through a through hole in a caliper housing and into a shaft cavity of a shaft of a wear adjuster mechanism that is configured to adjust a running clearance of a brake pad assembly.

Brake assembly and method of adjustment

A wheel end support assembly and method of assembly. The assembly may include a spindle, a brake torque plate, and a locator bushing. The locator bushing is received in a first locator hole of the spindle and a second locator hole of the brake torque plate and aligns the brake torque plate to the spindle.

Wheel end support assembly and method of assembly

A brake assembly having a guide pin assembly that slidably couples a brake caliper to a brake carrier. The guide pin assembly may include a resilient member that extends between a bushing and a sleeve. The sleeve may be mounted to the brake carrier. The brake caliper may be slidable along the bushing.

Brake assembly having a guide pin assembly

A brake pad retraction spring that includes a coil, first and second biasing arms, and first and second biasing tips. The first and second biasing arms may extend from the center coil. The first and second biasing tips may extend from ends of the first and second biasing arms, respectively.

Brake assembly having a retraction spring and method of assembly

A brake assembly having a sensor assembly that is received inside a shaft of a wear adjuster mechanism. The wear adjuster mechanism may be at least partially received inside a piston that may be rotatable about the axis and may be at least partially received in a tappet. The sensor may provide a signal that is indicative of rotation of the shaft.

Brake assembly having a sensor

A disc brake assembly that includes a brake caliper, a retainer strap, and a sensor assembly. The retainer strap is mounted to the brake caliper and extends across a brake pad assembly. The sensor assembly is mounted to the retainer strap and generates a signal indicative of a position of the brake pad assembly.

Disc brake assembly having a sensor assembly

A disc brake assembly that includes at least one brake pad retraction spring and a sensor assembly. The brake pad retraction spring extends between a pair of brake pad assemblies. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensor and a wire harness. The sensor is disposed on a brake pad assembly. The wire harness is attached to the brake pad retraction spring.
