Abstract
A mechanical anti-wheel lock-up control system for avoiding wheel lock-up and consequent skidding in a motor vehicle, including a lock-up sensor or control device arranged in an open end of the axle tube and protectively covered over by the hub cap of the wheel, the control device being of an inertia flywheel actuable valve type controlling relief from and application of service air to the braking mechanism, the control device having an input shaft associated with the flywheel by means of an axially disengageable cam clutch and geared to be driven by the hub cap. The control device may be employed in a system individual to each wheel, or in a system serving a plurality or pair of wheels. In the latter, a control module of valves modulates the pressure of service air feeding to the braking mechanism in controlling a wheel lock-up condition.
