Brake Management System targets agricultural machines.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:28:15 -0500

Based on electrically variable pumps, zero displacement motors, and intelligent control electronics, Hydrostatic Brake Management System prevents diesel engine from overspeeding. Braking algorithm, which is stored in BODAS controller, moves pump back instantly when pressure is applied to brake pedal, reducing geometric displacement of pump accordingly. Pressure-relief valves fitted to all hydrostatic travel drives allow system to achieve braking effect greater than drag torque of engine.
