According to the invention the valve insert is configured as a one-part slotted bushing, and the valve body is configured as a bonnet-shaped bushing. The valve body configured as a bushing is pressed into a second end of the valve insert configured as a slotted bushing such that the main valve seat is disposed within the valve insert. | 10-21-2010 |
20110001351 | Method and Device for the Reproducible Generation of a Specifiable Final Pressure in a Braking System - To achieve a specifiable, and thus reproducible final pressure in at least one part of the brake circuit, the pump is first actuated for pressure buildup or pressure reduction when the valve is closed. When a first specified setpoint pressure is reached, or when a pressure threshold value is exceeded, the valve is put into an open position using a first actuation. After the pump is switched off, the actuation of the valve is modified in such a way that, during a specifiable time, a continuous change of the first actuation is undertaken all the way up to a second actuation, in which the valve assumes a holding position, particularly while taking into consideration the pressure difference which prevails at the valve. | 01-06-2011 |

20090051215 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A BRAKE SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES - The invention relates to a method for operating a braking system for motor vehicles with electrically actuated hydraulic valves, the coils of which are powered up, at least in phases, with currents which modify the currentless state of the hydraulic valves, in order to heat the hydraulic fluid present in the system. The hydraulic fluid is heated via a heating profile which, in accordance with the hydraulic fluid temperature, activates the heating phase of the hydraulic fluid. The heating profile consists of a first heating phase and, subsequent thereto, a second heating phase. During the first heating phase, the coils are powered up in such a way that the coil temperature at the end of the first heating phase corresponds to a pre-defined temperature value of the coil which is at least approximately maintained during the second heating phase when powering up the coils. | 02-26-2009 |
20090055067 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT A STATIONARY HOLDING FUNCTION ON A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method for controlling a valve for maintaining brake pressure in a specified region of a brake circuit in a motor vehicle, in which the valve is controlled using a first control method, the specified region of the brake circuit is monitored with respect to the occurrence of a loss of brake pressure, and in response to a detected loss of brake pressure, the valve is controlled using a second control method. | 02-26-2009 |

The brake system allows for an unchanged pedal characteristic in a hybrid vehicle which has an electric drive motor in addition to a combustion engine, which motor is used as a generator when the brake is actuated. | 10-13-2011 |
20110272228 | BRAKE SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING SUCH A BRAKE SYSTEM - A brake system for a motor vehicle having an at least single-circuit brake cylinder with the aid of which a brake force may be applied to at least one wheel of the motor vehicle when actuated. The brake cylinder is mechanically operatively connected to a booster cylinder, which is decoupled from brake setpoint detector and is hydraulically triggerable for actuation of the brake cylinder corresponding to the driver's intent as detected with the aid of the brake setpoint detector. A motor vehicle having a brake system is also described. | 11-10-2011 |
20120042647 | Electromechanical Brake Booster - An electromechanical brake booster is disclosed. The brake booster is constructed with two worm gears which run in opposite directions and whose axial forces compensate one another. The worm gears drive toothed rack gears which convert a rotational driving movement into a translatory output movement for activating a master brake cylinder. As a result of the provision of two gear paths, the loading of each gear path is halved and an application of force to a booster body, which forms a gear output, is symmetrical. | 02-23-2012 |

The system includes a brake master cylinder having an electromechanical brake booster. As the pressure level of the vehicle braking system decreases during an anti-lock control, in which all vehicle wheels are controlled, the boosting force of the brake booster is reduced in an anti-lock control of this type. | 03-29-2012 |
20120161507 | Method for Operating a Hydraulic Vehicle Braking System - A method for operating a hydraulic vehicle braking system having an electromechanical brake booster is disclosed. A shut-off valve that is located between a brake master cylinder and wheel brakes is closed to maintain a wheel-brake pressure and thus a braking force. To maintain a constant braking force, no current must be applied to an electric motor of the brake booster. The vehicle braking system can be used as a parking brake. The shut-off valve is present if the vehicle braking system has an anti-lock control device. | 06-28-2012 |
