Things You Must Know About Anti Lock Braking System

Nowadays all the cars are coming equipped with an ABS system. The Anti-lock braking system is an essential upgrade to the car's braking system. The safety of occupants in a car depends upon its braking. The functioning of the ABS is intricately related to many components present in the ABS system. It is very important to maintain the proper functioning of the ABS as along with your safety, handling of the car also depends upon the ABS. The following slide will give you more information about the Anti-lock braking system.

  1. Things You Must Know About Anti-lock Braking System

  2. The anti-lock braking system aka ABS is a safety feature in cars that prevents their wheels from locking up and helps to maintain the steering control.

  3. ABS enables the wheels of a car to maintain retroactive contact with the ground to avoid an uncontrolled skid on sudden braking.

  4. Major components Speed sensor Valves Electronic control unit Hydraulic control unit

  5. Speed sensor 1 2 It consists of an exciter (a ring with V-shaped teeth) and a wire coil or magnet assembly, which generates the pulses of electricity as the teeth of the exciter pass in front of it. These sensors are attached to each wheel and determines whether to accelerate and decelerate, the speed of the wheels.

  6. Valves 1 2 The resistance that you feel, while braking suddenly at high speeds is actually the brake valves controlling the pressure that is being transferred to the brakes. There is a valve in the brake line of each wheel that regulates the air pressure to the brakes during the ABS action.

  7. Electronic control unit 1 2 It collects the signal from the sensors in the circuit, analyzes them and controls the brake pressure. The ECU is an electronic unit that receives, amplifies and filters the sensor signals for calculating the wheel rotation speed and acceleration.

  8. Hydraulic control unit 1 2 The hydraulic control unit receives a signal from the ECU to apply or release the brakes under the anti-lock conditions. It controls the brakes by increasing the hydraulic pressure or bypassing the pedal force to reduce the braking power.

  9. How ABS works ?

  10. ABS is a part of an overall stability system, which monitors the wheels under heavy braking.

  11. When the speed sensors detect that a wheel is about to lock or stop moving, the system releases the brake for a moment.

  12. The hydraulic control unit controls the brake pressure in each wheel cylinder based on the inputs from the sensors which controls the speed of the car.

  13. ABS, then continuously applies and releases pressure, which results in optimum braking pressure to all wheels. So that they don't get locked up.

  14. Advantages

  15. The ABS brakes are designed to combat the problem of tire lock up and uncontrolled spins.

  16. It provides stable braking characteristics on all road surfaces, be it slippery or snowy.

  17. ABS reduces friction between the tires and road, thus increases the efficiency of the tires.

  18. With the application of ABS, a car stops at a shorter distance than the conventional brakes.

  19. Summing up ABS has transformed the mechanism of braking in cars making it more automatic and efficient. And also has made our drive highly safe and comfortable.
