Abstract
A braking torque sensor of a brake is provided, the braking torque sensor includes: a long circular shaft hole arranged on a brake arm of the brake; a connecting plate configured to detect a braking displacement which is generated by the hinge shaft of the brake element in a long circular shaft hole and varies with the magnitude of the friction force when the braking action is performed by the brake, and convert the detected displacement into a plate deformation of the connecting plate; and a tension sensor configured to convert the plate deformation generated due to the braking action on the connecting plate into force information, and transmit the force information outwards in a form of electrical signal or digital signal. The detection result of the braking torque sensor is consistent with the actual result, so that an abnormal condition of the brake can be detected in time.
