Abstract
A slip-controlled brake system for commercial vehicles with a hydraulic transmission device for which the cost of the system is reduced. Each axle of the vehicle is assigned a hydraulic control unit, with an electronic control unit, of a slip-control device for passenger vehicles. The hydraulic control unit has four hydraulic channels (K1, K2, K3, K4). Brake lines which connect a master cylinder of the brake system to wheel cylinders are routed in each case via two channels (K1, K2, K3, K4) of the hydraulic control unit, which are connected in parallel, in order to achieve a sufficiently large volume flow of pressure medium. Connected to the corresponding control unit are two wheel speed sensors assigned to the wheels of the respective vehicle axle. The control units are connected electrically for the exchange of wheel speed sensor signals. The brake system can be implemented in an advantageous manner on light commercial vehicles.
