Electromechanical Parking Brake with Auto-hold Function CO3221-9A
An electromechanical parking brake replaces the conventional handbrake with a simple switch on the dashboard so that there is no need for a handbrake lever. On uphill starts, sensors determine how steep the slope is. If the driver stops the vehicle, the brake engages automatically until the car is started again. This new auto-hold function is being integrated into more and more vehicles and in the future will gain in significance. In our system we have depicted the modern electromechanical parking brake in such a way that it is easily understood and can be experimentally tested by trainees and students. Training contents: • How rear-wheel brake actuators work • Sensors and actuators in an electromechanical parking brake • How electromechanical parking brake works • Parking brake function • Dynamic pull-away assistant • Dynamic emergency brake function • Auto-hold function • Gauging of brake discs • Understanding how brake boosters and 
 hydraulic brakes work • Interpretation and use of technical 
 documentation • Experimental investigation of the various 
 functions for improved understanding • Assembly, configuration and testing of 
 mechanical components • Design and function of disc brakes
