What is an SBC pump?

What is an SBC pump?

The Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system is fitted to many Mercedes-Benz vehicles ranging from 2001-2011. A piston pump driven by an electric motor supplies a controlled brake fluid pressure between 140 and 180 Bar in the gas diaphragm reservoir (Accumulator).

What is the SBC on a Mercedes?

The Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is a type of brake system used by Mercedes, similar to the throttle-by-wire systems that most technicians are familiar with. SBC has several components that, visually, appear no different from any other ABS-equipped car.

Does W212 have SBC?

I miss the SBC as I liked it very much and of course the W212 does not have them.

What do you need to know about Sensotronic braking system?

Depending upon the only braking system if due to some malfunctioning SBC fails. pedal force, the master brake cylinder has builds appropriate Key words: Sensotronic, Braking System amount of brake pressure into the brake lines which then presses the brake pads against the brake discs via wheel I. INTRODUCTION cylinders.

When did Sensotronic Brake Control start on R230 SL?

The SBC system was introduced on the R230 SL-class, which went on sale in Europe in October 2001. In a hydraulic brake system, the driver applies force by a mechanical link from the pedal to the master brake cylinder. In turn the master brake cylinder develops hydraulic pressure in the wheels.

How does a SBC control system work on a car?

A piston pump driven by an electric motor supplies a controlled brake fluid pressure between 140 and 160 Bar in the gas diaphragm reservoir. When the driver presses the brake pedal – or when ESP intervenes to stabilize the vehicle – the SBC control unit calculates the desired target brake pressures on each individual wheel.

How does an electro hydraulic brake system work?

How it works. In contrast, the electro-hydraulic brake SBC provides the brakes with a brake fluid supply from the hydraulic high-pressure reservoir, which is sufficient for several braking events. A piston pump driven by an electric motor supplies a controlled brake fluid pressure between 140 and 160 Bar in the gas diaphragm reservoir.

How does the Mercedes SBC braking system work?

I’ll briefly try to sum it up in a nutshell. The SBC braking system uses a microcomputer to monitor the car and driver actions. In the event it’s needed, such as emergency braking, the system monitors brake pressure, and applies the appropriate stopping power necessary, even if the driver doesn’t exert enough power.
