Abstract
Disclosed is a system for capturing braking particles from a friction brake system, which includes a vacuum source, a pneumatic circuit that connects the friction brake system to the vacuum source, and a filter located on the pneumatic circuit and mounted on a support. The capturing system includes a control unit and an identification device for identifying the current filter, which is capable of sending at least one signal to the control unit, the signal including at least one current characteristic of the current filter, the control unit being capable of comparing the at least one current characteristic with at least one reference characteristic of a reference filter and informing a user when the at least one current characteristic and the at least one reference characteristic are dissimilar.
