Claim 0:
1. A method for monitoring the wear of one or more slides (7) in a rotary slide assembly (1), comprising a rotary slide rotor (5) and one or more slide receiving areas (6) for the slide or slides (7) in the rotary slide rotor (5), comprising the step of detecting a wear state of the one or more slides (7), by generating an electric or electronic signal or by a request of an electric or electronic signal by the slide or slides (7) themselves or the one or more associated slide receiving areas (6) in their interaction with the slide or slides (7), wherein the signal is continuously generated and reflects a wear state of the slide (7) or slides and wherein the signal is generated by a proximity sensor configured for detecting a determined angular position of the slide or for detecting the slide receiving area exposed behind an end of the slide, or wherein the sensor is a transponder or a tactile sensor, the signals of which are evaluated electronically.
