A device and method for detection of wear of a sliding contact which may be displaced along a brushgear, includes a sensor and a measurement indicator designed for detection by the sensor. The sensor and the measurement indicator approach or move away from each other by a shortening of the sliding contact caused by wear, and a brushgear system. The problem of enabling simple, reliable detection of the practically complete wear of the sliding contact is addressed by the sensor being designed for contactless and/or contacting detection of the measurement indicator, and by means of a brushgear system having a device of this kind, and also a method of this kind in which the sensor detects the measurement indicator becoming closer to the sensor contactlessly and/or contactingly and, when a threshold value for a predetermined wear of the sliding contact is exceeded, issues a warning signal.

Device and method for the detection of wear on a sliding contact and brushgear system

A fastening device for fastening a conductor line to at least one mounting element. The fastening device has at least one holding element connectable to the conductor line. The holding element fastens the conductor line to the mounting element such that movement perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the conductor line is not possible. A conductor line system has a conductor line, which is fastened by a first fastening device to a first mounting element and by a second fastening device spaced apart therefrom to a second mounting element. The first fastening device is connected to the conductor line and to the first mounting element in such a way that movement in the longitudinal direction is not possible. The second fastening device is connected to the conductor line and/or to the mounting line in such a way that movement in the longitudinal direction is possible.
