Abstract
A device for detecting a clamping force of a brake caliper of a vehicle braking system is provided. The device has a force sensor, a force transmitting element suitable for transmitting the clamping force exerted by the brake caliper to the force sensor, and a mechanical limit stop element. The force transmitting element is movable when subjected to the clamping force exerted by the brake caliper. The force sensor is configured to measure the clamping force up to a sensor force threshold value that is lower than a maximum clamping force exertable by the brake caliper. The mechanical limit stop element is configured to be engaged by the force transmitting element when the clamping force exceeds the sensor force threshold value.
