Introducing Bosch Brake Pad Wear Sensors: A Breakthrough in Vehicle Safety

Our innovative brake pad wear sensor provides drivers with accurate real-time feedback on the condition of their vehicle's brake pads. Engineered for both front and rear axles, this sensor eliminates guesswork and ensures timely brake pad replacements.

How It Works: When a vehicle equipped with disc brakes applies pressure, the brake pads slow or halt the rotor, linked to the wheel hub. Traditionally, worn pads emit a high-pitched squeal as a warning. However, our sensors pre-empt this by detecting pad wear early. Instead of noise, a warning light alerts the driver to impending replacement needs. Crucially, our sensors wear out simultaneously with the brake pads, ensuring consistent performance.

Technical Details: Our sensors function as resistors, interfacing with a computer module. Installed directly onto the brake pad, they maintain frictional contact with the rotor surface. With a secure spring clip mounting interface boasting retention force exceeding 30 newtons, reliability is guaranteed. Each vehicle requires two sensors—one for the front axle and one for the rear—alongside specialized software and algorithms for precise monitoring.

Advanced Features: Beyond simple warnings, our sensor estimates remaining brake pad lifespan, a critical feature for proactive maintenance. Available in both single-stage and multi-stage variants, the latter includes resistor circuits at varying heights within the sensor housing. When the first circuit is breached, the vehicle's information system calculates remaining pad life using inputs such as mileage, wheel speed, brake pressure, temperature, and operating time.

Meeting Industry Demands: In an era where safety and automation are paramount, our sensors rise to the challenge. Multi-stage sensors enable accurate predictions of replacement needs, bolstering safety and preventing road accidents.
