Continuous determination of traction force in parking brake cable involves transferring traction force to cable sleeve, then to pressure sensor whose signal voltage depends on traction force, which is derived from respective signal voltage

摘要

The method involves transferring the traction force (F) to a cable sleeve (2) connected to the cable (1) and then to a pressure sensor (4) whose signal voltage is dependent on the magnitude of the traction force, which is then derived from the respective signal voltage. The traction force is transferred to the pressure sensor via a pressure plate (3).
