Function, legal requirements, installation guidelines

The valve is connected immediately downstream of the pump. Via an
orifice approx. 4.5 L/min are made available to the integrated
accumulator loading valve, the remaining flow is passed on to the
subsequent actuators via port N (e.g. steering).
When the loading pressure of 150 bar is reached, the entire flow is
passed to port N. If the accumulator pressure falls 18% below the
switch-off pressure then the accumulator loading process is repeated.
The brake circuits are separated by check valves.
Function of the 2-circuit brake valve
The 2-circuit brake valve comprises of 2 tandem 3-way pressure reducing
valves (pressure increase: the pressure increases in relation to the
actuation force). The valve contained within the first brake circuit is
directly actuated. The pressure of the second brake circuit is controlled
by the first brake valve. If the hydraulic supply to the first brake circuit
fails then the second brake circuit is directly actuated.
Function of the parking brake system (FBA)
The parking brake is applied via a spring accumulator cylinder.
Version MFA
A hydraulic hand brake valve can be connected to port S3 for loading
an FBA.
Version MFEA
When the electrical hand brake valve is switched to „release“, the
pressure fluid flows from the hydraulic accumulator into the spring
accumulator cylinder and releases the parking brake.
Legal requirements
The general content of all legal regulations is the demand that a
vehicle must be road-safe in all operating conditions. The current
valid national and international regulations are the basis when
projecting a braking system. Furthermore, the braking system must
correspond to the current level of technology.
Braking systems must be tested to the valid national and interna-
tional regulations.
The responsibility lies with the vehicle manufacturer.
Installation guidelines
– Rubber parts must not be painted
– Actuating elements must not be subjected to direct high
pressure cleaning.
– Damaged seals must be immediately replaced.
– The cross-sections of the hydraulic transfer elements (pipes,
hoses) are to be so selected, that at low temperatures the
pressure drop between the hydraulic accumulator and brake
cylinder remains low.
– The tank pressure must not exceed the pressure at which the
brakes are applied.
– When fitted below the base plate, care must be taken to ensure
that the movement of the pedal cannot be affected by
contamination.
– The foot mat must be so designed that there is always sufficient
free space when the pedal is not actuated.
– Please take into account when applying the remotely powered
brake valve the relevant social insurance for occupational
accidents or TÜV requirements!
