An electric motor, particularly an engine of a motor vehicle, has a temperature sensor for monitoring the operating temperatures of a winding. The temperature sensor is inserted through a radial through-hole at the periphery of the insulation element into a recess which is delimited between a shaped-out portion on the corresponding projection of the insulation element and the winding. The shaped-out portion has a slope so that a translational displacement of the temperature sensor at the same time leads to an increase in the biasing force of the temperature sensor with respect to the winding. It is thus possible to ensure the desired pre-tension force, and therefore a reliable contact surface between the temperature sensor and the winding, as a result of the connecting force and, at the same time, secure the temperature sensor with force fit in the shaped-out portion.

The washer 42 of the temperature sensor component 40 is fixed to the boss 30 together with the electronic control unit 20.

A brake temperature detection device is configured detect brake temperature more accurately. In a situation in which the temperature in the vicinity of the brake has risen above the atmospheric temperature, indicated by a value read off of the detection signal of the temperature sensor, for example when traveling in congested traffic, a value to correct atmospheric temperature is determined, and atmospheric temperature is corrected on the basis of that atmospheric temperature correction value. Subsequently, brake temperature is calculated on the basis of the corrected air temperature. As a result of this configuration, it is possible to have the calculated brake temperature approach the actual brake temperature. This makes it possible to detect brake temperature more accurately.
