Abstract
A braking corrector governed by the height of a vehicle, comprises a body (10), in which is slideably mounted at least one piston controlled by an actuating rod (12) and arranged so as to interact with at least one valve element, in order to control at least one brake-fluid passage between at least one inlet (14,16) and at least one outlet (18,20) of the corrector. The corrector possesses a sensor detecting the height of the vehicle and formed from a lever (32), the pivot (34) of which is stationary relative to the body (10) of the corrector and one end (36) of which is connected to an unsuspended part of the vehicle, the distance between this end (36) and the pivot (34) defining a first lever arm, and the lever (32), which actuates the actuating rod (12) at a distance from the pivot (34), defining a second lever arm. The corrector possesses a mechanism (40,46,48,54) for varying the ratio between the lengths of the first and second lever arms.
