Abstract:
A modular non-linear spring system capable of simulating traditional brake pedal feel when incorporated into a hydraulic and/or electro-hydraulic vehicle braking system. The system can include a first spacer having a top surface and a bottom surface and an optional second spacer having a top surface and a bottom surface. In one arrangement, a first mechanical spring is in abutting engagement with the top surface of said first spacer, a second mechanical spring is in abutting engagement with the bottom surface of said first spacer and the top surface of said second spacer, and an optional third mechanical spring is in abutting engagement with the bottom surface of said second spacer. The springs are arranged to be progressively compressed using a brake pedal of the braking system.
