This torque-measuring device for a brake is based on the principle of measurement of the elastic deformation of active parts of a brake. The principle according to the invention is illustrated and explained with the example of a shoe brake. In that case, regions (23, 24) with a reduced bending moment resistance are formed at the brake levers (2, 3) and elastically deform under the action of torque. The elastic deformation is detected by means of strain gauge strips (R1 to R4) arranged in these regions (23, 24) and connected as a measuring bridge and the obtained voltage signals are conducted on to the lift control for the purpose of processing into reference signals (28). By these reference signals a motor torque compensating for the measured torque is generated in the drive motor by way of the drive control before the release of the brake and the thus resulting torque at the brake shaft is brought to zero. A jerk-free setting off, without a torque jump, results therefrom after release of the brake.
