A method is provided to check for presence of gas bubbles in an electronically slip-controllable motor vehicle brake system that includes brake circuits to which wheel brakes are connected, a pressure generator to charge the brake circuits with a brake pressure, and sensors to detect an actuating signal of the pressure generator and measure the brake pressures in the brake circuits. Disturbances are recognized by ascertaining from the signal a setpoint value for a brake pressure to be obtained and comparing it to an actual value of the brake pressure or by determining that an actual volume of the pressurizing medium displaced into the brake circuits, ascertainable from the signal, is greater than a limiting value that is determined for a setpoint value for the pressurizing-medium volume to be displaced into the brake circuits in order to generate the actual value of the brake pressure.

The present invention is related to a cooling device for a forklift brake system, which is capable of maintaining a predetermined level of heat-radiation performance by reducing heat when heat is generated in a service brake that is provided at a forklift driving shaft. A cooling device for a forklift brake system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention allows cooling oil to bypass a cooler when a pressure of the cooling oil is abnormally increased or there is a concern that a pressure of the cooling oil is increased, thereby preventing the cooler from being damaged.

A vehicular integrated brake system has an EBS and an EPB system integrated in the system to simplify a brake control system and reduce costs. An EBS function and an EPB function are incorporated by adding an EPB valve in the EBS valve system, so that the actuation of the EBS valves and the EPB valve can be controlled by a single integrated controller. A separate pneumatic route connecting the EPB is removed to optimize the pneumatic route. Thus, it is possible to simplify the controller and to reduce costs.

A brake distributor valve for a Russian railway vehicle includes a body defining a brake pipe passageway configured to be in fluid communication with a brake pipe, a reservoir passageway configured to be in fluid communication with a reservoir, and a reference pressure passageway configured to be in fluid communication with a reference pressure source. The brake distributor valve includes a service accelerated release valve having a valve member with a first position where the brake pipe passageway is isolated from the reservoir passageway and a second position where the brake pipe passageway is in fluid communication with the reservoir passageway. The valve member is configured to supply pressure from the reservoir passageway to the brake pipe passageway during a brake release event, where the valve member is actuated between the first and second positions based on a pressure within the reference pressure passageway.

A valve for an air brake system on a commercial vehicle comprises a body, an inlet port connected to the body and at least one delivery port connected to the body. The inlet port has a threaded portion distal to the body and a hex portion proximate to the body. The hex portion includes a frangible feature in substantially the mid-point of the hex portion such that the valve can easily be removed from an air brake reservoir when the valve is broken at the frangible feature.
