Translation of "Pedalgefühl" in English

A vehicle driver has at least an approximately normal pedal feel.

A pedal feel agreeable to the driver is therefore ensured.

This is why brake pedal travel will be shorter and the pedal will feel "harder".

The pedal feel speaks for racing brake fluid, because the brake fading is significantly reduced.

A pleasant, normal pedal feeling is imparted to the vehicle driver during operation due to this measure.

A so-called travel simulator gives the vehicle driver the pedal feel known from conventional brake systems.

As a result, the vehicle can be brought to a halt more quickly and with avoiding an unpleasant pedal feel.

The embodiment according to the invention which is shown allows a pleasant pedal feel, even in the case of particularly powerful and rapid braking operations.

On the other hand, an attempt is made thereby to convey to the driver a pedal sensation that is known from conventional hydraulic brake systems.

Inside work, maximum comfort and pedal feel is achieved with a new footrest with nylon reinforcement and inserts.

Larger in diameter than before, the main brake cylinder ensures an even better feeling for the brake pedal with an even more precise pressure point.

They are designed to provide a constant locking strength and the sensation of a stable and reliable pedal.

In accordance with the objects of the present invention reliability and the desired pedal feeling are improved in such brake systems.

A relatively soft pedal feel and an increased pedal travel are undesirable consequences of the additional pressure fluid volume input caused by the given pressure pulsation dampers during braking operations.

An undesired premature activation of the switchable diaphragm associated with the inlet valve cannot be ruled out with sufficient certainty, especially in the case of rapid actuation of the brake (e.g., panic braking). In the event of such premature activation of the switchable diaphragm, the feel of the pedal and the vehicle-specific pressure build-up gradient will change.

However, this design of the ratio conditions results in long pedal travels in the case of heavy vehicles and in an undesirably soft pedal sensation during normal braking.

Through the selection of a characteristic which does not have a linear gain throughout between an actual pressure and a target pressure, but rather a partially non-linear gain, the pedal movement and the pedal feel can be precisely matched to the application conditions or the intent of the driver.

When the driver steps on the gas pedal 12, the frictional forces occurring in the contact surface 30 set a resistance against the actuation, this resistance improving the pedal feel, but nevertheless making it easier to hold the pedal 12 in position when the latter is static.

This system gradually builds hydraulic brake pressure so that you always have reassuring pedal feel.

The ability to define characteristic braking curves gives developers the freedom to determine pedal feel and adapt it to the customer's brand-specific wishes.

The transitions are smooth and imperceptible for the driver – the vehicle's behavior and pedal feel remain unchanged.

The disclosure has the advantage of permitting the same pedal sensation and pedal behavior upon brake activation with the electric drive motor in the generator mode as without the braking action of the electric drive motor.

The disruption occurring in the prior art as a result of an activated pump and/or a switched valve, which conventionally has an adverse effect on the pedal sensation, can therefore be eliminated.

The correlation between F_ped and the displacement travel 12 corresponds to the driver's pedal feel, his familiar brake pedal characteristic.

In this way, it can be ensured that, starting from an actuation strength equal to the minimum actuation strength, the driver will experience a standard brake actuation feeling (pedal feeling) despite the previously executed masking of the generator braking moment.
