Electric brakes, devoid of a hydraulic system, herald a groundbreaking revolution
ZF has unveiled a novel electromechanical braking system, marking a departure from traditional hydraulic setups. Engineered in ZF’s research hubs in China, the USA, and Germany, this purely electric braking system forgoes hydraulic fluid, relying on electric motors to generate braking force on each wheel.
Dr. Holger Klein, CEO of ZF Group, emphasizes the significance of this electrically controlled braking system in expanding their portfolio of interconnected chassis systems. Klein underscores its pivotal role in ushering in a new era of vehicle control, particularly in software-defined and electric vehicles.
The absence of a hydraulic system, termed “dry brake-by-wire,” eliminates the need for brake fluid.
In this system, braking pressure is generated not by fluid pressure in a hydraulic system but by electric motors, with brake signals transmitted electrically.
This innovative brake-by-wire system, exemplified by Integrated Brake Control (IBC), offers advantages such as reduced braking distances, enhanced braking energy recovery, and lower maintenance costs compared to traditional systems.
In emergency braking scenarios at 100 km/h, the braking distance can be up to 9 meters shorter than that of traditional systems.
Electric vehicles, specifically, stand to gain up to 17% more range through improved braking energy recovery.
The “dry” nature of this brake-by-wire system minimizes residual friction torques, resulting in virtually zero particulate emissions from brake abrasion.
This lower resistance not only saves energy during driving but also contributes to increased range in electric vehicles.
Beyond the performance benefits, forgoing the hydraulic system significantly reduces assembly and logistics costs in vehicle production.
Users also benefit from lower maintenance requirements, as there’s no need to change brake fluid over the vehicle’s lifespan.
Despite the absence of mechanical connections between the pedal and brake actuators, the braking sensation remains akin to a hydraulic brake.
Ensuring the security of data transmission and processing, as well as a stable energy supply to electric motors, is achieved through redundancy in all connections and systems, mirroring the reliability seen in aviation by-wire systems.
With over 50 years of experience, ZF, a leading global supplier, provides vehicle manufacturers with flexibility in choosing their braking systems—from purely hydraulic to purely electric or a hybrid combination.
ZF’s comprehensive range spans all components, from wheel brakes to parking brakes, covering hardware and software.
Moreover, ZF’s portfolio extends beyond braking systems to include purely electronic systems for steering, shock absorbers, and brakes, facilitating the creation of interconnected chassis systems.
This approach promises improved driving dynamics, greater vehicle control, shorter braking distances, enhanced steering flexibility, increased stability at high speeds, and improved autonomy and efficiency in software-defined vehicles.
