Abstract
A traction control system (TC) pressure actuator is provided. The actuator includes a frame with a central bore fluidly exposed to a solenoid valve and to a vehicle wheel cylinder. A piston is slidably mounted within the bore having a contact surface and a first predetermined position within the bore. A power device is actuated by a controller. A cam moved by the power device has a ramp surface in contact with the piston contact surface. The position of the piston within the wheel cylinder is determined by the position of the cam.
