Braking system for controlling e.g. stability of motor vehicle, has brake element with piston system that creates, increases or decreases wheel braking torque independent of action on pedal, irrespective of displacement speed of vehicle

摘要

The system has a master cylinder transforming a brake pedal support into pressure transmitted to a motorized brake element (5.1). The element has a hydraulic unit constituted of a body (15) and a hollow hydraulic piston (19) that is installed inside a hydraulic chamber (17), for transforming hydraulic pressure into a braking torque of wheels of a motor vehicle. The element has an irreversible electric piston system (22) that creates, increases or decreases the braking torque of each wheel independent of an action on a brake pedal, irrespective of a displacement speed of the vehicle. An independent claim is also included for a method for using a braking system.
