Principle of the ABS block

The ABS block, what is it?

It is not always known, but the anti-lock of the wheels was first developed for airplanes in the 20s: it was necessary to avoid skids when landing. The principle of the ABS system is now known to all: it prevents the wheels from locking when the driver presses the brake a little too hard.

The ABS system quickly

The ABS block is part of the overall ABS system. So we discover for the BMW M8 car ...

• The wheel speed sensors: each of the sensors is placed in front of a rotating notched wheel, which generates a magnetic field variation and induces a sinusoidal signal.
• The magnetic targets: they are, depending on the car models, directly integrated into the wheel bearings.
• The ABS block: how is it composed? This is what we will discover ...

The ABS block

Let's look at the partial composition of the ABS block of the BMW M8 brand ...

The hydraulic unit

Several elements make it up including:

• The electronic braking distributor, which has an additional role managed by the ECU.
• Solenoid valves of which each wheel has an intake solenoid and an exhaust solenoid valve.
• Pressure accumulators which are tanks of pressurized gas used to provide a large flow rate for a fairly short time.

The ECU

It receives information from each of the wheel sensors.

The motor driving a hydraulic pump

This is an organ that transforms a flow rate into a rotational speed and a pressure into operating torque. The motor's rotational speed is proportional to the flow rate that feeds it.
