Abstract
The present invention relates to a sensing device for monitoring aircraft brake assemblies, in particular the sensing device is for monitoring wear and/or temperature of the aircraft brake assembly. The device comprises a housing rigidly connected to the chassis of the aircraft brake assembly, wherein the housing comprises a displacement sensor. The device further comprises a pin extending through the housing with a first end configured to move with a pressure plate of the aircraft brake assembly such that, in use, the pin is configured to move relative to the housing in a longitudinal direction of the pin. The pin comprises a detectable element positioned within the housing, and the displacement sensor is configured to monitor the position of the detectable element within the housing.
