SENSOTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL(SBC)

1. SBC (Sensotronic Brake Control)

2. What Is SBC? Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an electro-hydraulic brake system. SBC allows high pressure and dynamic brake pressure individual control for each wheel. Mercedes-Benz first introduced the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC)system on their SL-Class sports car.

3. Unlike conventional braking system SBC dispense with mechanical hydraulic coupling with pedal and brake. Superb directional stability and optimally assured brake distance are the result of SBC. SBC allows precise braking and increased vehicle stability.

4. Central Control Unit Of SBC Various component of central control unit of SBC Pump motor High pressure reservoir Hydraulic valve Pressure sensor SBC micro computer

5. For optimal controlling SBC micro computer is also connected to electronic stability program(ESP). Control unit use various sensors to record motion of vehicle.

6. WORKING

7. Features of sensotronic brake control system Emergency Braking- SBC recognizes the driver’s rapid movement from the accelerator onto the brake pedal as a clue to an imminent emergency stop and responds automatically

8. Driving Stability -When there is a risk of swerving, the system interacts with the Electronic Stability Program ( ESP) which keeps the vehicle safely on course through precise braking impulses at all wheels.

9. Comfort- SBC serve to increase brake comfort particularly during sharp deceleration. Soft-Stop- The Soft-Stop function of the SBC software ensures particularly gentle and smooth stopping during heavy traffic jams.

10. On a wet road surface the system metes out short brake impulses at regular intervals to ensure that the water film on the brake discs dries off and that SBC can always operate with optimum effectiveness . On hills or steep drives the Sensotronic Brake Control Drive-Away Assist prevents the car from rolling backwards or forwards

11. Advantages of SBC Fast build up of brake pressure. Optimum brake power distribution. No pedal vibration during ABS operation. Skidding in corners is avoided. Stopping distance is reduced by up to 3 %.

12. Conclusion  Conclusion Sensotronic Brake Control is the brake of the future. The interdisciplinary interaction of mechanics and electronics provides its greatest benefits – the microcomputer, software, sensors, valves and electric pump work together and allow totally novel, highly dynamic brake management.
