Apparatus including a brake control assembly having a brake fluid accumulator assembly. The brake fluid accumulator assembly includes a brake fluid orifice, at least one brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore, a controllable bi-directional motor, and at least one piston. The brake fluid orifice is fluidly connectable to a brake apply master cylinder and is fluidly connectable to a wheel brake. The at-least-one brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore is fluidly connected to the brake fluid orifice. The motor has a first motor driving direction and an opposite second motor driving direction. The at-least-one piston is each positioned in and slidable within a corresponding brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore and is each movable by the motor, in the first motor driving direction, to move in compression within the corresponding brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore.

An electro-hydraulic brake system containing four isolation piston assemblies each of which is comprised of a cylinder, a piston, and a pair of hydraulic lines. The cylinder has only two apertures, and the piston is disposed in the cylinder. The first hydraulic line communicates between a wheel brake and a first side of the piston through one of the apertures. The second hydraulic line communicates between an accumulator and a second side of the piston through the other of the apertures. The system components are arranged in a compact, easy to manufacture package.

An integrated anti-lock braking (ABS)/traction control (TC) braking system is provided which includes a controller cognizant of a rotational condition of a wheel, a master cylinder, an actuator with a bore, the bore having a first fluid connection with a master cylinder and space therefrom a second fluid connection with a brake, a first normally open solenoid valve for isolating the master cylinder from the wheel brake when the controller places the system in an ABS or TC mode, and a hollow primary piston mounted within the bore along first, second and third spaced sealed peripheries having a first port connecting the interior of the primary piston with its exterior between the first and second sealed peripheries and communicating with the second fluid connection of the bore. The primary piston also has a second port fluidly connecting an end of the primary piston most adjacent to the bore first fluid connection with the interior of the primary piston and the primary piston having a check valve mounted within the second port and the primary piston has a third sealed periphery generally adjacent the bore first fluid connection. A secondary piston is mounted within the primary piston movable in a direction towards the bore first fluid connection to pressurize the brake and movable in an opposite direction to release the pressure within the brake, the secondary piston has an extreme position with respect to the primary piston wherein the secondary piston opens the check valve and further movement of the secondary piston causes the pistons to move in unison pressurizing the wheel brake. A reversible motor connected with a gear train, drive screw and nut moves the secondary piston in response to signal give by the controller.

A vehicle braking actuated traction control system is provided which includes a bored frame fluidly connected with a master cylinder and a wheel brake. A spring biased plunger with a sealing head slidably mounted within the bore isolates the bore from the master cylinder by axial movement of the plunger in a first direction. A piston operatively associated with the plunger is sealably slidably mounted within the bore for creating a variable control volume in the bore in fluid communication with the wheel brake. The piston is connected with the plunger via a spring which biases the plunger away from the piston. A nut is fixably connected with the piston and a drive screw threadably engaged with the piston is reversibly powered by an electric motor which is responsive to the signals given by a controller which is cognizant of a vehicle wheel condition. Upon the appropriate signal the drive screw will power the piston to a position to cause the plunger to isolate the wheel brake from the master cylinder and thereafter modulate the pressure within the wheel brake as commanded by the controller during a traction control cycle.
