"ABS" is translated as "anti-lock braking system" in Chinese. It is a car safety control system with the advantages of anti-skid and anti-lock. ABS is an improved technology based on conventional braking devices, and can be divided into two types: mechanical and electronic.
A large number of modern cars are equipped with anti-lock braking systems. ABS not only has the braking function of ordinary braking systems, but also prevents the wheels from locking, so that the car can still turn under braking, ensuring It stabilizes the car's braking direction and prevents sideslip and deviation. It is currently the most advanced braking device with the best braking effect on cars.
When the ordinary braking system brakes on a slippery road or during emergency braking, the wheels are likely to lock safely because the braking force exceeds the friction between the tire and the ground.
Applications of ABS
The world’s first anti-lock braking system, ABS (Ant-ilock Brake System), came out in 1950 and was first used in aircraft in the aviation field. In 1968, research on automotive applications began. In the 1970s, new cars produced in seven European and American countries began to use disc brakes on the front or front wheels, which promoted the application of ABS in automobiles. After 1980, computer-controlled ABS gradually expanded rapidly in cars in Europe, the United States, and Asia and Japan. So far, some mid-to-high-end luxury cars, such as West Germany's Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Yadi, Porsche, Opel and other series, Britain's Rolls-Royce, Jetta, Rover, Bentley and other series, Italy's Ferrari, Alfa, etc. , Leading, Ruyi and other series, French Porsche series, American Ford's TX3, 30X, Red Comet and Chrysler's Emperor, New York Hawker, Baron, Dodge, Shunfeng and other series, Japanese Civic, Lexus, luxury Honda, Benyue, Junlang, Lady 300Z and other series all use advanced ABS. By 1993, the number of ABS installed on cars in the United States reached 46%. Today, nearly 75% of cars produced in various countries around the world use ABS.
Today, many companies around the world, including Bendix, Bendix, Pausch, Morgan Davis, Hayes Kelsey, Sumai Tom, Honda, and Japan Unlimited, produce ABS. They are divided into whole and non-whole. It is expected that with the rapid development of passenger cars, more manufacturers will produce them.
