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

February 8, 2023

Safety and comfort have always been one of the main concerns for any driver. For that reason, during these last years, vehicle manufacturers have developed new advanced brake systems, such as ABS or ESP.

However, these advances would have been impossible 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, also known as brake signal transmitter.

This sensor identifies the brake pedal tilt angle and sends this information to the electronic brake management unit.

Being an electric signal, this information is transmitted almost immediately. Thanks to this, the vehicle is capable of anticipating the braking, thus ensuring at all times vehicle safety and stability.
