EBS brake valve

Part of the braking system in trucks and buses, the EBS brake valve is a small but uniquely clever component. Part of this is what is known as the Electronic Braking System, or EBS for short. It's a pretty high-tech system, as it employs electronic signals—essentially communications from the vehicle—to assist in applying the brakes. This means it can respond quickly and provide adjustments to the brakes whenever required. 

Air Supply: The EBS brake valve is a pneumatically controlled device used to apply and release the brakes. Basically, when you step on the brake pedal, the EBS brake valve releases air to assist in bringing the vehicle to a stop. EBS brake valve uses a bit of electronic controls unlike older brake systems that are more complicated, and slower. This causes the brakes to function faster, smoother and more powerfully, so drivers have greater reassurance when they need to stop.

The Key Features of EBS Brake Valve Explained

Anti Lock Braking System (ABS): The EBS brake valve is also responsible for anti-lock braking system or ABS. This is most useful as it prevents the wheels from locking up during a hard brake by the driver. The ABS works by tracking the wheel speed on each wheel and automatically adjusting the brake pressure. This prevents the wheels from skidding, which can be very risky. It gives the driver the ability to control the vehicle even in challenging conditions. 

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) — The air brake release valve also has the ability to use a feature called electronic brake force distribution, or EBD. Since it provides an equal distribution of braking force across the front and back wheels on the vehicle, this is an essential feature. This improves braking control and stability on wet or slippery surfaces. It helps ensure the vehicle doesn’t tip, or slide, and is a really important safety feature.”
