A gauge for measuring wear of a brake pad of a brake includes a first component having a first longitudinal portion extending in a longitudinal direction; the first component further has a jaw extending transversely from said first longitudinal portion. The jaw has a first contact region configured to contact a first side of a brake assembly. A second component has a second longitudinal portion extending in the longitudinal direction and a scale portion. A slide is configured to longitudinally slide along the scale portion. The slide has a second contact region configured to contact a second side of the brake assembly. The first and second components are interconnectable in a first relative position and a second relative position. The first and second contact regions define a mutual distance indicative of a thickness of the brake pad when applied to a brake caliper with the brake applied.

Gauge for measuring wear of a brake pad

A device () for extracting an adjuster unit () of a brake assembly (), which includes a shaft (), a gear (), and a sleeve (), includes an insert () configured to be partially inserted between the peripheral wall () of the sleeve () and a proximal end () of the shaft. The insert () includes an engaging section () for engaging the sleeve () and an inner volume () for receiving the proximal end of the shaft (). An actuator () is operatively coupled to the insert () and transmits an extraction force (F) so as to move the insert () and at least the sleeve () away from the brake assembly. The sleeve () has a sealing lip () extending radially inwards from the peripheral wall of the sleeve (), and the insert () includes a groove () configured to engage the sealing lip.

Device and method for extracting an adjuster unit of a brake assembly

A caliper disk brake, particularly for commercial vehicles, comprising a carrier, a caliper, at least one brake pad, and an indicating device capable of indicating wear of said brake pad. Said indicating device comprises a screw drive converting a linear movement of said pad with respect to said carrier into a rotational move-ment. Moreover, the invention may include a wear indicating device of such a disk brake.
