Claim Text:
1. A brake monitoring device comprising: a sensor which is configured to detect variations of a physical quantity at at least one component of the brake actuating mechanism of a disc brake, wherein the sensor and the component are arranged such that, due to a relative movement between the sensor and the component, constantly repeating variations of the physical quantity along a path are generated and detected, and a linear extension which is configured as the component to cooperate with a thrust element of the brake actuating mechanism, the extension extending from the thrust element and parallel to an axis of the disc brake, the extension being disposed entirely exterior to the sensor, the sensor extending into an interior of a housing of a brake caliper of the disc brake through an aperture in a rear side of the brake caliper opposite to the thrust element, the sensor being disposed within the housing in an orientation parallel to the axis of the disc brake and disposed parallel to and distant away from the extension thereby forming the path; wherein the extension is attached to the thrust element.
