Claim Text:
1. A measuring arrangement for measuring brake application force in a disc brake, comprising: first and second components of a caliper of the disc brake, the first and second components being at least one of formed by and affixed to the caliper and displaceable relative to one another along a travel path when brake application force is applied; a brake application force sensor, the brake application force sensor being affixed to a first one of the first and second components of the caliper and including a housing; a measurement object at least one of formed by and affixed to a second one of the first and second components, the measurement object comprising an element configured for contactless interaction with the brake application force sensor; an evaluation unit coupled to the brake application force sensor, wherein: the brake application force sensor is configured to detect the displacement of the measurement object along the travel path due to elastic deformation of the caliper, the evaluation unit is configured to convert the detected displacement into a measurement variable that is a function of the brake application force, the brake application force sensor and the measurement object is attachable to the respective one of the first and second components so as to be removable, and the brake application force sensor is arranged outside the travel path of the measurement object, wherein an observation direction of the brake application force sensor is at a right angle to the travel path of the measurement object.
