Electrically operated friction braking arrangement for motor vehicle - effects rapid deceleration from high speed to upper limit of range of conventional mechanical brake system

摘要

The brake disc (3) fixed to the axle (2) has rotor windings (5) secured near its centre in electrical contact with a brush (4) on the inside of the stator (1), whose windings (6) are arranged on both sides of the rotor (3). A pair of friction pads (7) on the end of an electric actuator (8) are applied to the disc (3) by a control circuit (12) responsive to sensors of brake pedal movement (11) and road speed (15) above a min. value of the latter. ADVANTAGE - Highly reliable system requires no piping and can be controlled with sensitivity by driver.
