Abstract:
An electric-wear adjusting device of a motor vehicle disc brake is provided for adjusting friction surface wear on the brake linings and brake disc of the disc brake having. having a brake application device, preferably with a rotary brake lever. The adjusting device includes an electric motor, a gear mechanism, and an output element. The output element is connected rotationally fixed to a clamping sleeve. The clamping sleeve has inwardly projecting longitudinal ribs on an inner side configured to cooperate with axial grooves of a threaded plunger of a wear-adjuster spindle unit. Also provided is a corresponding disc brake having the electric wear-adjusting device, and a method for measuring and setting air play and measuring wear of a disc brake having the electric wear-adjusting device.

Claim (Index 19):
The method as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein\n the act of at least one of measuring a present air gap and setting a new air gap includes the sub-acts of:\n applying the brake pad by activation of the electric motor in a first direction of rotation until the brake pad makes contact with the brake disk at a contact point; \n detecting said contact with the contact point by detecting at least one of an increase in current of the electric motor, a force sensor, a spacing sensor, and a temperature sensor configured to detect a change in temperature on at least one of a surface of the brake disk and of a surface of the brake pad; \n stopping the rotational movement of the electric motor after detection of contact with the contact point; \n calculating the air gap using a control unit using at least one of rotational steps, rotational angle, rotational angle position, axial position, and gearing transmission ratio; \n activating the electric motor in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation to adjust the brake pad away from the brake disk into a position corresponding to the calculated air gap; \n storing at least one of a deviation in air gap and the rotation performed in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions relative to an air gap prior to adjustment; and \n calculating an overall rotational angle as a measure of wear.
