Boring of a hydraulic block of vehicle power braking system.

A stroke of a piston of a pedal travel simulator is limited via a spring ring that is inserted into a circumferential groove in a cylinder of the pedal travel simulator. The spring ring relieves the load on a cover of the pedal travel simulator that closes the cylinder of the pedal travel simulator.

A brake system for hydraulically actuating a pair of front wheel brakes and a pair of rear wheel brakes includes a master cylinder fluidly connected to a reservoir and operable to provide a brake signal responsive to actuation of a brake pedal connected thereto. The master cylinder is selectively operable during a manual push-through mode by actuation of the brake pedal to generate brake actuating pressure at an output for hydraulically actuating a selected one of the pair of front and rear wheel brakes. A first power transmission unit is configured for actuating the selected one of the pair of front and rear wheel brakes. A second power transmission unit is configured for actuating the other one of the pair of front and rear wheel brakes. A first electronic control unit is provided for controlling at least one of the first and second power transmission units.

A fluid separator includes a separator housing defining a longitudinal bore having first and second bore ends. A first fluid passage is in fluid communication with the bore at the first bore end. A second fluid passage is in fluid communication with the bore adjacent the second bore end. A third fluid passage is in fluid communication with a portion of the bore spaced apart from both the first and second bore ends. A free-floating piston is located inside the bore and configured for longitudinal movement with respect to the bore responsive to fluid pressure within the bore. A biasing spring urges the piston toward the second bore end. An end cap is located at the second bore end. The end cap is maintained on the housing via at least two retainers.

Disclosed is a hydraulic control apparatus of a brake system including a modulator block having a motor bore, and a motor including a cover that covers an opening of a case accommodating a stator and a rotor and is supported on one side of the modulator block, wherein a vent hole for air flow between the inside and the outside of the motor is formed on the cover and a communication passage for communicating the motor bore and the vent hole is formed in the modulator block.

A method for operating an electromechanical braking system for a transportation vehicle having a brake pedal, a brake master cylinder, and an electromechanical brake booster. The electromechanical brake booster includes an actuator motor for increasing or decreasing the pedal force on the brake master cylinder to boost or reduce the braking power accordingly. A change in the boosting force of the electromechanical brake booster is limited to avoid uncontrolled changes of the brake boosting.

An electrohydraulic vehicle braking system is provided, comprising an electrically controllable first hydraulic pressure generator and an electrically controllable second hydraulic pressure generator. The braking system further comprises a first valve device for each wheel brake, having at least one first valve, wherein in an electrically uncontrolled state the first valve device separates its associated wheel brake from an output of the first hydraulic pressure generator, and in an electrically controlled state connects it to the output of the first hydraulic pressure generator. In addition, a second valve device for each wheel brake is provided, having a second valve between an output of the second hydraulic pressure generator and its associated wheel brake, as well as a third valve between this wheel brake and a first hydraulic fluid reservoir. The first valve device and the second valve device are arranged in parallel to one another.

A brake pedal assembly of a brake-by-wire system of a vehicle includes a support structure, a brake pedal pivotally engaged to the support structure at a first pivot axis, and a brake pedal emulator assembly. The brake pedal emulator assembly extends between and is pivotally engaged to the brake pedal and the support structure at respective second and third pivot axis. The brake pedal emulator assembly includes a brake pedal emulator and an adjustment mechanism aligned along a centerline intersecting the second and third pivot axis. The brake pedal emulator is constructed and arranged to displace axially when the brake pedal is actuated, and the adjustment mechanism is constructed and arranged to adjust axial displacement.

An electronic vehicle stability control system includes a hydraulic braking circuit having a plurality of electronically controlled valves, a plurality of pumps, a motor that operates the plurality of pumps, and a suction throttle valve that throttles flow of hydraulic fluid to at least one of the plurality of pumps. The electronic vehicle stability control system also includes a controller coupled to the hydraulic braking circuit that controls the plurality of electronically controlled valves.
