Abstract: A piston pump for conveying a hydraulic fluid in a vehicle braking system is described. The piston pump comprises at least one chamber having an inlet and an outlet for the hydraulic fluid. A piston can be moved in a guided manner in the chamber in order to convey the hydraulic fluid along a conveying path from the inlet to the outlet, the piston co-operating with an activation mechanism. A fluidic control element is arranged in the conveying path between the inlet and the outlet. A sealing element is further received in the chamber in order to seal the chamber in a fluid-tight manner relative to the activation mechanism. The piston is constructed so as to be able to be moved relative to the sealing element.

Abstract: A pressure sensor is mounted integrally in a hydraulic valve body. The sensor has a base which extends into a bore formed in the valve body. The valve body bore is in communication with a pressurized hydraulic fluid. A first circumferential groove formed in the sensor base carries an O-ring which forms a seal between the sensor and the wall of the valve body bore. A second circumferential groove formed in the sensor base carries a spring ring which extends into a corresponding groove formed in the wall of the valve body groove. The spring ring cooperates with the sensor base and valve body bore grooves to retain the sensor in the valve body bore.

Abstract: An anti-locking brake system for traction control and vehicle dynamics control such that a pump for actuating a wheel brake removes brake fluid from a brake pressure generating unit and supplies it to the wheel brake. Disposed between the brake pressure generating unit and an input connection of the pump is a valve arrangement in the form of a 2-connection/3-position valve, which in a non-actuated (normal) position blocks the connection between the brake pressure generating unit and the input connection of the pump. In a first actuating position the valve arrangement establishes a secondary flow connection between the brake pressure generating unit and the input connection of the pump, and in a second actuating position establishes a primary flow connection between the brake pressure generating unit and the input connection of the pump. The primary flow connection has a larger flow cross section than the secondary flow connection.

Abstract: A pressure sensor is integrated upon a solenoid valve by attaching at least one micro-machined strain gauge to an end of the solenoid valve sleeve. The solenoid valve is included in a vehicle brake control system. As the hydraulic fluid pressure in the brake system changes, the end of the solenoid valve sleeve is deflected, causing a change in an electrical property of the strain gauge. The stain gauge is included in a bridge circuit that is electrically connected to a signal conditioning circuit. The signal conditioning circuit generates a pressure signal that is a function of the change in the electrical property of the strain gauge.
