A piston stroke sensor arrangement for a brake unit includes a brake unit including a piston and a piston tube, and a proximity sensor supported on the brake unit. The proximity sensor may determine the location of the piston within the brake unit based on the position of the piston tube relative to the proximity sensor. The proximity sensor may be an inductive proximity sensor. A groove may be defined in an outer circumferential surface of the piston tube. When the brake unit is in a non-applied position, the proximity sensor may detect metal of the piston tube. When the brake unit is in an applied position, the proximity sensor may not detect the metal of the piston tube.
