Brake wear indicator
is used to warn the operator of a vehicle that the brake pad is in need of replacement.
What is a brake wear indicator?
A brake wear indicator is a device designed to alert the vehicle operator when the brake pads need replacement. Primarily used in motor vehicles with more than three wheels, these indicators are also applicable in industrial settings, such as wind turbines and cranes. The article discusses the principle of brake wear indicators using disc brakes as an example, although the concept applies to other types of friction brakes as well.
Reliable brake wear indicators tailored to your application
At Hagens, we provide high-performance brake wear indicators developed to enhance safety, reduce maintenance costs, and support optimal system operation. Whether used in vehicles or industrial machinery, our indicators help detect brake pad wear at the right time – ensuring timely service and uninterrupted performance.
While most commonly used in commercial vehicles with disc brakes, a wear indicator on brakes is equally essential in sectors such as wind energy, material handling, and heavy-duty manufacturing. In these applications, monitoring brake condition is vital to avoid unexpected failures and costly downtime.
