Field: Mechanical elements (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC F  G | IPC F  G

Claim 0:
1. A braking device for vehicles, the device comprising:
a support element;
a block of friction material connected with the support element;
a force sensor located between the block of friction material and the support element;
an electrical circuit connected to the force sensor, the electrical circuit configured to receive an electric response signal emitted by the force sensor when the braking device is subjected to an external compression force; and
a protective element comprising resin-based material,
wherein the protective element is arranged with respect to the force sensor to apply a final force (Fp) to the force sensor in a direction of external compression force (F) applied to the block of friction material, and the resin-based material is selected such that Fp/F is not less than 0.01.
