ABSTRACT:
A brake lining wear indicating system is disclosed. The system includes a probe, embedded in the lining material, which wears away as the lining wears. The probe is made of an electrically conductive material having a relatively high bulk resistivity, so that as the lining wears, the resistance of the probe changes accordingly. The resistance of the probe can then be measured to determine lining wear.
