Electric Vehicle Technology Advancements with New Brake-by-Wire Modular Pedals from CTS

2023-04-06 | 返回
Lisle, IL – CTS Corporation announces the release of a custom Brake Pedal for brake-by-wire systems. Building on over 20 years of expertise in developing and manufacturing accelerator pedals and sensors, the eBrake™ is another step forward in the CTS strategy to provide engineered solutions that enable electrified vehicles.

The CTS eBrake™ enables brake-by-wire, a type of electronic braking system (EBS). By controlling the braking system electronically, eBrake™ eliminates the need for the mechanical pushrod found in traditional brake systems while maintaining the driver’s braking confidence by imitating the pedal force of the existing mechanical pedal.

Benefits of eBrake™ for Brake-By-Wire Systems

>Streamlines the footwell packaging space and minimizes the space required within the engine bay
>Enables the introduction of brake-by-wire technology, which reduces vehicle design and production complexity
>Maximizes safety by utilizing multiple sensor technologies to create electronic redundancies

Engineering & Design Expertise

The CTS modular design solution is developed with proven building blocks, enabling accelerated delivery for customer-tailored solutions that require unique pedal arm geometry and pedal feel.

Functional safety is at the forefront of the CTS innovation process, and this system utilizes multiple sensor technologies to meet the highest industry safety standards. By integrating both hall-effect and inductive sensing technologies, the eBrake™ is fully ISO26262 compliant. The eBrake™ supports dual ASIL-D safety requirements for manufacturers implementing brake-by-wire systems.

CTS has decades of experience creating innovative automotive pedal solutions. The eBrake™ is another opportunity for CTS to partner with leading vehicle manufacturers and tier-one suppliers in their electrification journey.
