ABS5.3: The New and Compact ABS5 Unit for Passenger Cars

Abstract

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The transition from the multi-component ABS2 design to the one housing concept of ABS5.0 represented a significant step in improving the ABS unit.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">ABS5.3 is the successor of ABS5.0 to achieve a highly compact, light weight inexpensive design, for the broad use of ABS in all passenger cars and light trucks.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">New technologies applied are the staking technique for hydraulic components, the use of microhybrid electronics design and solenoid coils being integrated within the attached electronic control unit.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The unit can be manufactured in global alliance achieved by simultaneous engineering, applying CAD, FE-analysis, flow calculation and simulation, noise analysis and quality assurance which includes FMEA, error simulation, durability tests and the dry testing concept.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The ABS5.3 design can be easily expanded to Traction Control (ASR).</div>
