A brake control device includes an electric pump, a pressure adjustment valve that adjusts a hydraulic pressure of a brake fluid discharged by the electric pump to an adjustment hydraulic pressure and supplies the brake fluid in a rear wheel cylinder, and a master unit provided with a servo chamber into which brake fluid at the adjustment hydraulic pressure is supplied and in which the adjustment hydraulic pressure is converted into a forward force of a master piston, and a master chamber fluidically separated from the servo chamber by the master piston and connected to the front wheel cylinder and in which a rearward force converted from the hydraulic pressure in the front wheel cylinder and is applied to the master piston. Also included is an input unit provided with an input chamber and a simulator, and a controller configured to control the electric pump and the pressure adjustment valve.

Provided is a hydraulic unit of a brake system including a housing; an oil supply part configured to supply oil to the housing; an oil discharge part configured to discharge the oil, supplied to the housing through the oil supply part, to the outside of the housing; and a piston movably mounted on the housing, and configured to open and close the oil supply part and the oil discharge part.

A hydraulic control valve for an ATV or motorcycle takes hydraulic input from a hand brake lever as an input to a first cavity of the control valve with a movable piston therein, and from a foot brake lever as an input to a second cavity of the control valve with a movable piston therein, with the two pistons being linked. A bypass channel extends around the piston in the first cavity, which is closed off when the first piston moves longitudinally. The output of the first cavity hydraulically controls braking of the front wheel(s). The foot brake lever also pressurizes a direct line to brake the rear wheel(s) that doesn't go through the control valve.

A device for a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle. The device includes a processing unit, which is programmed to determine at least one brake characteristic value of the hydraulic braking system, the processing unit being programmed to determine the at least one brake characteristic value as a vehicle axle-specific brake characteristic value, which in each case corresponds to a ratio between a brake pressure in all wheel brake cylinders assigned to a shared vehicle axle of the vehicle and a vehicle axle braking torque exerted on the shared vehicle axle with the aid of the wheel brake cylinders. A method for determining at least one brake characteristic value of a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle, and a method for decelerating a vehicle with a hydraulic braking system and an electric motor usable as a generator, are also described.

A device and a method for decelerating a vehicle having a front-loading device has a brake system and sensors for measuring the mass and the center of gravity of a load. An electronic evaluation and control unit evaluates the sensor data to determine a maximum brake deceleration in forward travel, in order to prevent the vehicle tilting about the front axle. At least one sensor of the brake system generates a sensor signal in an emergency braking situation for triggering an emergency braking operation, in which the delimitation or reduction of the effective brake pressure in the wheel brake cylinders of the front axle is canceled and, with the exception of an ABS control operation, the full brake pressure is introduced in a controlled manner by way of a primary brake valve into the wheel brake cylinders of the front axle.

An electrohydraulic brake system of an off-road vehicle includes a first hydraulic brake circuit for a first vehicle axle; a second hydraulic brake circuit for at least one second vehicle axle; a respective wheel brake for each vehicle wheel per vehicle axle; an electronic control unit having a brake force distribution function; a brake signal generator; at least one central brake force distribution valve per brake circuit, a signal input of the control unit for registering a braking signal of the brake signal generator; and at least one signal output of the control unit per brake force distribution valve. A brake pressure for applying a hydraulic pressure fluid to the brake cylinders of the wheel brakes on the respective vehicle axles can be fed to the respective brake circuit by the control unit in conjunction with the central brake force distribution valve and the brake signal generator.
