Resumen
This paper will explain the methodology used to develop a new electromagnetic power brake, which, used together with the brake master cylinder, will reduce driver force required during the braking action. Until now, these mechanisms were assisted by engine vacuum, pneumatic pressure or hydraulic pressure. The idea was to create a new power brake design that would use the power from the vehicle battery to meet the pressure and volume requirements, functioning by using the principles of electromagnetism. The design team applied the company�s highly valuable knowledge in the field of certain power brake models and made good use of its integrated corporate knowledge management framework. The result is a new product with a braking system that is connected separately to each wheel and which provides the pressure and volume requirements in accordance with the specific vehicle-road environment. The new design includes a considerably simplified ABS electronic control.
