Abstract
A sensor device for a disc brake has a sensor gearing which can be coupled to at least one encoder, wherein the sensor gearing is arranged in a housing as a planetary gear mechanism and has an input for a first variable, which can be detected by the sensor device and which is associated with wear of the disc brake, and has an input for a second variable, which can be detected by the sensor device and which is associated with an operating movement of the disc brake. The sensor device can be changed over from a first state for detecting the first variable, which is associated with wear of the disc brake, and the second variable, which is associated with an operating movement of the disc brake, to a second state for detecting only the first variable, which is associated with wear of the disc brake.
