Abstract
An improved arrangement for measuring and controlling the wear of the first member which is subject to wear during frictional contact with the second member. The unique arrangement employs a simple process which allows a direct measurement of wear with a minimum expenditure. The invention involves a method of measuring the temperature which is generated in the first member or in the second member or in an adjacent member, which is representative of the above-mentioned wear which occurs during frictional contact, and an evaluation circuit for converting the temperature values into wear signals.
