  • Method and brake system for controlling the braking process in a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6783194
    Abstract: A wheelslip is calculated from wheel speed, recorded by speed sensors (6), by a controller (8). A pre-set value for the wheelslip is regulated by means of a proportional controller. Parallel thereto, a set brake pressure for the wheel brakes (3) is fixed, which is determined by the controller (8), by means of the instantaneous wheel torque (Mmomentan) transferred to the ground by the particular wheel (2).

  • Actuator-integrated force sensor
    Patent number: 6772647
    Abstract: The present invention is based on an use of the already existing actuator bottom as a deformation element for a direct measurement of braking force, and on its geometric configuration in order to measure a force in a way which is largely independent of temperature and free of hysteresis. Accordingly, a force sensor is integrated into an actuator for generally or transmitting a force in the force flux. The actuator bottom is transverse to the force flux.
