Abstract

A pressure medium brake system for a motor vehicle such as a racing vehicle having at least one axle with two wheels and respectively assigned wheel brake cylinders includes devices for determining a cornering of the motor vehicle. A respective wheel brake cylinder of the axle can be controlled as a function of the curve.

Claims (15)

1 . Pressure medium brake system for a motor vehicle having at least one axle with two wheels and respectively assigned wheel brake cylinders, comprising apparatus configured to determine cornering of the motor vehicle when in a curve, and a respective wheel brake cylinder of the at least one axle is controlled as a function of the curve.

2 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is configured to operate as a function of the lateral acceleration.

3 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 2 , wherein a separate brake master cylinder is provided for an individual wheel.

4 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 3 , wherein a double-acting pressurized actuating cylinder between the operating rods for the wheel brake cylinders assigned to the respective wheels is assigned to the at least one axle.

5 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 4 , wherein the actuating cylinder has a joint to which the actuation for the two wheel brake

5 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 4 , wherein the actuating cylinder has a joint to which the actuation for the two wheel brake cylinders of the axle is applied, namely an operating rod operatively associated with the brake pedal.

6 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 4 , wherein elements of a defined elasticity are assigned to the actuating cylinder for adjustment of an approximate center position.

7 . Pressure medium accordingly to claim 6 , wherein elements of a defined elasticity are assigned to the actuating cylinder for adjustment of an approximate center position.

8 . Pressure medium brake system according claim 4 , wherein pressurization of the actuating cylinder is branched off an hydraulically supported steering power booster.

9 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 8 , wherein the actuating cylinder has a joint to which the actuation for the two wheel brake cylinders of the axle is applied, namely an operating rod operatively associated with the brake pedal.

10 . Pressure medium brake system according to claim 9 , wherein elements of a defined elasticity are assigned to the actuating cylinder for adjustment of an approximate center position.

11 . Motor vehicle, comprising a pressure medium braking system according to claim 1 .

12 . Motor vehicle according to claim 11 , wherein the motor vehicle is racing vehicle.

13 . Motor vehicle according to claim 11 , wherein the vehicle excludes an antilock braking system.

14 . Method for increasing a braking effect at an axle of a motor vehicle, comprising determining cornering of the motor vehicle when driving in a curve, and controlling a wheel brake cylinder of the axle as a function of the curve based upon a differential pressure of a steering system of the motor vehicle.
