Brake Components
The ABS MK 100® anti-blocking system is a two-channel solution. The system which is especially developed for motorcycles, offers enhanced brake control and thus increased driving safety due to an optimized deceleration.
The MK 100® ESC is designed to combine the comfort requirements of driver assistance functions with the optional available high pressure dynamic requirements of the Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) function.
The MK C1® EVO is Continental’s next evolutionary step of its brake by wire brake systems. The robust design continues the approach of an innovative simulator brake system MK C1®, in production as since 2016, by keeping the high system performance while reducing the costs and power consumption.
Instead of manual application via a hand brake lever and floor pull, the electric version generates the clamp force by an actuator, which in the case of the EPB-Ci is sitting directly on the disk brake caliper. The driver gives the command to activate the parking brake via a switch in the interior.
Instead of manual activation via hand brake lever and floor pull, the electric version generates the clamp force by an actuator that, in the case of EPB-Si, sits directly on the back plate of the drum brake. The driver gives the command to activate the parking brake via a switch in the interior.
In the drum brake, the brake force is obtained by the radial application of the brake shoes to the inner side of the wheel drum. The force is generated by a hydraulic wheel cylinder. Various drum diameters are available to adjust the wheel brake to the vehicle.
Continental offers various fist type disk brakes. In addition to the basic functions as a service brake, special development priorities are low residual braking torque and high NVH robustness.
The electric vacuum pump is used when the vacuum required for the brake booster cannot be provided by the vehicle’s propulsion engine or is not sufficient. This applies in particular to electric, hybrid, diesel and gasoline direct injection vehicles.
Brake boosters amplify the braking force and make it easier for the driver to apply pedal force in order to achieve a desired braking effect.
