1. A brake mounting for determining a measurement variable for an acting brake force or frictional force on a disk brake of the type having a caliper acting on friction linings which frictionally engage a brake disc and which is attachable to a motor vehicle, the brake mounting defining a z-axis being parallel to a central axis of the brake disc and normal to a friction surface of the brake disc and an x-axis that is perpendicular to the z-axis where the brake disc rotates in the x-axis direction and clamping force on the brake disc occurs in the z-axis direction, the brake mounting comprising:

  • at least two lining guide rails disposed across the brake disk and on which the friction linings on both sides of the brake disk are guided so as to be movable to a limited extent in the axial z axis direction of the brake disk,a sensor device, by means of which an x axis displacement of at least one of the lining guide rails caused by a brake force effect in a direction perpendicular to the axial z axis direction of the brake disk is measured,the sensor device having a first sensor element and a second sensor element, whose relative movement is measured,wherein the sensor device is responsive to bending deflection of at least one of the lining guide rails.
