Did you know what is the use of the electronic sensor included in most modern foot brake valves?

March 13, 2024

Over the last years, vehicle manufacturers have developed new advanced braking systems, such as ABS or ESP. However, these advances would not have been possible without the emergence of electronic sensoring in the elements that comprise the brake system. 

One of the pneumatic valves that has incorporated an electronic sensor into its operation is the foot brake valve. This sensor identifies the brake pedal tilt angle and sends this information to the electronic brake management unit. Since it is an electric signal, this information is transmitted almost immediately. Thanks to this, the vehicle is capable of anticipating the braking, thus ensuring vehicle safety and stability.
