  2. Proportioning valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportioning_valve

    A cross-section of a proportioning safety valve. A proportioning valve is a valve that relies on the laws of fluid pressure to distribute input forces to one or more output lines. Proportioning valves are frequently used in cars and other road vehicles to reduce the brake fluid pressure to the rear brakes. Due to weight distribution during ...

  3. Electronic brakeforce distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_brakeforce...

    The pressure of the rear wheels are approximated to the ideal brake force distribution in a partial braking operation. To do so, the conventional brake design is modified in the direction of rear axle overbraking, and the components of the ABS are used. EBD reduces the strain on the hydraulic brake force proportioning valve in the vehicle.

  4. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

    The driver's brake pedal simply controls a valve to bleed pressure into the brake units at the wheels, rather than actually creating the pressure in a master cylinder by depressing a piston. This form of brake is analogous to an air brake system but with hydraulic fluid as the working medium rather than air.

  5. Brake balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_balance

    The brake balance or brake bias of a vehicle is the distribution of brake force at the front and rear tires, and may be given as the percentage distributed to the front brakes (e.g. 52%) [1] or as the ratio of front and rear percentages (e.g. 52/48). [2]

  6. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

    There is a valve in the brake line of each brake controlled by the ABS. On some systems, the valve has three positions: In position one, the valve is open; pressure from the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake. In position two, the valve blocks the line, isolating that brake from the master cylinder.

  7. Relay valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_valve

    A relay valve is an air-operated valve typically used in air brake systems to remotely control the brakes at the rear of a heavy truck or semi-trailer in a tractor-trailer combination. Relay valves are necessary in heavy trucks in order to speed-up rear-brake application and release, since air takes longer to travel to the rear of the vehicle ...

  8. Combined braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_braking_system

    A combined braking system (CBS), also called linked braking system (LBS), is a system for linking front and rear brakes on a motorcycle or scooter. [1] In this system, the rider's action of depressing one of the brake levers applies both front and rear brakes. The amount of each brake applied may be determined by a proportional control valve ...

  9. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

    The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...
