FASTENING DEVICE FOR A DISC BRAKE WITH A SPEED SENSOR
A fastening device for a vehicle disc brake having a brake carrier includes holding fixture formed in the brake carrier for receiving a speed sensor. The brake carrier includes fastening members for mounting to a flange of the vehicle. The speed sensor is used for an anti-lock braking system to detect wheel slip. The holding fixture is in the form of a bore. The bore may be formed in the strut facing the axle or in an extension of one of the fastening members of the brake carrier. The speed sensor is aligned in its extension direction axially with an exciter in or on the brake disc or in the axle. The speed sensor is attached to a cable that does not need to be guided past the vehicle flange.
