A detection device for a simultaneous detection of normal and tangential components of a force acting in a detection portion at a brake caliper or at a suspension of a vehicle wheel, wherein the detection device comprises: - a plate-shaped casing mainly extending along a reference plane, said casing being formed by two portions constrained and/or welded to each other, wherein the first portion has, towards the outside of the casing, a first plane face, parallel to the reference plane, adapted to be placed in close contact with said detection portion, and the second portion has, towards the outside of the casing, a second plane face parallel to the reference plane, adapted to be placed in close contact with fastening and clamping means; - a force sensor assembly, housed in said casing, and mechanically constrained and/or welded to said first portion and second portion of the casing, wherein the force sensor assembly is configured to detect: both a normal force component (fn), in a direction normal to the reference plane, transmitted thereto by contact and pressure by the casing, representative of a normal force (Fn) acting on the casing, and at least one tangential force component (ft), in a respective at least one tangential direction defined by the reference plane, transmitted thereto by contact and pressure by the casing, representative of a lateral force (Ft) acting on the casing, and wherein the force sensor assembly is configured to generate, by piezo-resistive effect, one or more electrical signals (SA, SB) representative of the normal force component (fn) and of the at least one tangential force component (ft) detected; - an electrical interface integrated in the casing and connected to the force sensor assembly to conduct and make said one or more generated electrical signals (SA, SB) available. - a plate-shaped casing mainly extending along a reference plane, said casing being formed by two portions constrained and/or welded to each other, wherein the first portion has, towards the outside of the casing, a first plane face, parallel to the reference plane, adapted to be placed in close contact with said detection portion, and the second portion has, towards the outside of the casing, a second plane face parallel to the reference plane, adapted to be placed in close contact with fastening and clamping means; - a force sensor assembly, housed in said casing, and mechanically constrained and/or welded to said first portion and second portion of the casing, wherein the force sensor assembly is configured to detect: both a normal force component (fn), in a direction normal to the reference plane, transmitted thereto by contact and pressure by the casing, representative of a normal force (Fn) acting on the casing, and at least one tangential force component (ft), in a respective at least one tangential direction defined by the reference plane, transmitted thereto by contact and pressure by the casing, representative of a lateral force (Ft) acting on the casing, and wherein the force sensor assembly is configured to generate, by piezo-resistive effect, one or more electrical signals (SA, SB) representative of the normal force component (fn) and of the at least one tangential force component (ft) detected; both a normal force component (fn), in a direction normal to the reference plane, transmitted thereto by contact and pressure by the casing, representative of a normal force (Fn) acting on the casing, and at least one tangential force component (ft), in a respective at least one tangential direction defined by the reference plane, transmitted thereto by contact and pressure by the casing, representative of a lateral force (Ft) acting on the casing, and wherein the force sensor assembly is configured to generate, by piezo-resistive effect, one or more electrical signals (SA, SB) representative of the normal force component (fn) and of the at least one tangential force component (ft) detected; - an electrical interface integrated in the casing and connected to the force sensor assembly to conduct and make said one or more generated electrical signals (SA, SB) available.
