INTRODUCTION OF BRACKS

Brakes are mechanical devices used for retarding the

motion of a vehicle.
Brakes are also used to stop the vehicle quickly
within a short distance.
Brakes are also used to hold the vehicle at rest on an
inclined road against the pull of gravity.
TYPES OF BRAKES

DRUM BRAKES
DISK BRAKES
VACUUM BRAKES
AIR BRAKES
HYDRALIC BRAKES
RAILWAY BRAKES
What is sensotronic brake control?

Sensotronic Brake Control is an innovative electronically

controlled brake system that is faster and more precise than
the conventional braking system.
Complete interaction of mechanics and electronics, known
asMECHATRONICS.
The brake booster will not be needed in future either.
HISTORY OF SBC

Robert Bosch GmbH has played a role in many innovations.

These include the first electronically controlled antilock braking
system (ABS) in 1978, the traction control system (TCS) in 1987,
and mass production of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) in
1995.
The company also helped Mercedes-Benz develop the most
technologically advanced system in productionthe electro
hydraulic brake (EHB) also known as Sensotronic Brake Control
(SBC).
WHY SENSOTONIC BRAKE

Brake pedal: Electronics instead of a vacuum

Control unit: Pressure modulators for each wheel
Faster and more precisely
SBC COMPONENTS

Microcomputer:- This system calculates the braking force

for each wheel individually.
High Pressure Accumulator:- High-pressure
accumulator contains the brake fluid which flows into the
system .
Hydraulic Unit:- They meter the brake pressure according
to requirements and pass it to the brakes.
Wheel Speed Sensor:- Generating signals representative of
the wheel-speed.
SBC COMPONENTS
Features of SBC

EMERGENCY BRAKING- Recognizes the drivers rapid

movement from the accelerator onto the brake pedal .

DRIVING STABILITY- It stops the car from turning aside

suddenly.

COMFORT- Provides comfort particularly during sharp

deceleration or when the anti-lock braking system is operational.

BRAKING IN CORNERS- SBC offers the possibility of

assigning brake forces in a way appropriate to the situation.
ELECTRONIC SENSORS USED IN SBC

PEDAL TRAVEL SENSOR (Situated at brake pedal)

STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (Situated at steering)
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (Situated at every wheel)
HYDRAULIC UNIT SENSOR (Situated at front wheel)
DEMERITS OF SBC

COST: Increases due to electronic components.

ASSEMBLING: Slight complex assembling.
DIFFICULT FOR MAINTENANCE: Prone to environment
conditions.
CONCLUSION

With reference to the advantages and dis-advantages it is

concluded that the SBC system may take the place of a
conventional brake system in the future.
One of the most important dis-advantage that is its higher cost
due to the electronic components will get reduced after the
adaptation of this system by all automobile companies. Also the
maintenance of the electronic component will be easy when we
shall get familiar with this system.
