Abstract
Several studies about the calculation of the brake factor exist, with differences in the degree of detail. One of the best known from Kosler is enlarged in this paper to analyze beside the brake factor the force inside the drum in further detail. Based on this analysis a relation between brake torque and abutment forces is presented, which leads to the idea of an abutment force sensor, to determine the brake torque. To assess this relation a sensitivity analysis is carried out. The results show a low sensitivity against the friction coefficient of the lining. The effects from all other, mainly geometric parameters are discussed to assess the potential of this innovative sensor.
