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.
