The Brake Compensator, a critical intelligent component in modern braking systems, acts as the "dynamic balancing maestro" for vehicle deceleration. By continuously adjusting braking force distribution across wheels, it ensures stability under varying loads, road conditions, and driving scenarios. SAE International research indicates vehicles equipped with advanced compensators can reduce wet-surface braking distances by 12%-18%.

Key Functions

Dynamic Load Compensation

Utilizing suspension height sensors or air spring pressure data, it automatically detects load states (empty/partial/full). Truck load-sensing valves, for instance, can linearly increase rear axle braking force from 30% to 70% within 30ms.

Center-of-Gravity Stabilization

During emergency braking, pressure regulators reduce rear-wheel braking force to prevent lockup caused by weight transfer. Tests show this technology decreases braking path deviation by over 40%.

Multi-system Coordination

Working with ABS and EBD systems, it optimizes force distribution before ABS activation. Tests on German sedans demonstrate 1.5m reduction in 100km/h-0 braking distances.
