fékerelosztó

A fékerelosztó, commonly translated as brake proportioning valve or brake pressure regulator, is a component in a vehicle's braking system. Its primary function is to regulate the amount of hydraulic pressure sent to the brakes, particularly the rear brakes. This regulation is crucial for preventing premature wheel lock-up, especially during hard braking.

The fékerelosztó typically operates by sensing the difference in brake pressure between the front and rear circuits. As brake pressure increases, the valve modulates the flow of fluid to the rear wheels, ensuring they receive proportionally less pressure than the front. This controlled pressure distribution helps maintain vehicle stability and steering control by preventing the rear wheels from locking up and sliding before the front wheels.

There are different types of fékerelosztó designs. Some are mechanical valves that use spring-loaded pistons to adjust pressure based on load and braking force. Others may be integrated with the anti-lock braking system (ABS), offering more sophisticated control over brake pressure. The specific design and location can vary depending on the vehicle manufacturer and model.

The proper functioning of the fékerelosztó is essential for safe and effective braking. Malfunctions can lead to uneven braking, reduced stopping power, or increased risk of skidding. Therefore, it is an important component to inspect and maintain as part of a vehicle's overall brake system health.
