The Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system operates using a hydraulic high-pressure reservoir to supply brake fluid. A piston pump, driven by an electric motor, generates controlled brake fluid pressure ranging between 140 bars (2,000 psi) and 160 bars (2,300 psi) in the gas diaphragm reservoir. [2] When the brakes are engaged, the SBC control ...
FS: Parking Brake. Electronic brakeforce distribution ( EBD or EBFD) or electronic brakeforce limitation ( EBL) is an automobile brake technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of a vehicle's wheels, based on road conditions, speed, loading, etc, thus providing intelligent control of both brake balance and overall ...
Hydraulic brake. A schematic illustrating the major components of a hydraulic disc brake system. A hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, typically containing glycol ethers or diethylene glycol, to transfer pressure from the controlling mechanism to the braking mechanism.
Ladder logic was originally a written method to document the design and construction of relay racks as used in manufacturing and process control. [ 1] Each device in the relay rack would be represented by a symbol on the ladder diagram with connections between those devices shown. In addition, other items external to the relay rack such as ...
Electronic stability control ( ESC ), also referred to as electronic stability program ( ESP) or dynamic stability control ( DSC ), is a computerized technology [ 1][ 2] that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction ( skidding ). [ 3] When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes ...
An anti-lock braking system ( ABS) is a safety anti- skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. [ 1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver to maintain more control over ...
Combined braking system. A combined braking system ( CBS ), also called linked braking system ( LBS ), is a system for linking front and rear brakes on a motorcycle or scooter. [ 1] In this system, the rider's action of depressing one of the brake levers applies both front and rear brakes. The amount of each brake applied may be determined by a ...
Exhaust brakes are simpler in operation than an engine brake.Essentially, the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve.This raises the pressure in the exhaust system, forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders, so again the engine is acting as an air compressor, with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe, retarding ...
