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
electrohydraulic 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.
