ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an opening mechanism (1) for at least one brake in particular a parking brake comprising an actuator (30), connected to at least one brake cable (60) and a load sensor (40) for determining the mechanical load of the at least one brake cable (60) wherein the mechanical load of the at least one brake cable (60) is determined via the actuator (30) and decoupled from the at least one brake cable (60). By the arrangement according to the present invention, a direct connection between the actuator (30) and the brake cable (60) is provided wherein the load sensor (40) does not work as a load transmission or a coupling component. This arrangement meets high security requirements even in case of a failure of the load sensor (40) since the function of the operating mechanism (1) is not affected or prevented thereby.
