Brembo's Sensify takes precise braking control to the next level:
is launching a new by-wire braking system, called Sensify, that the company expects to be in production by 2024.
Although the system is more complicated and, at least for now, more expensive, there are packaging, manufacturing, and efficiency benefits in addition to improved stopping performance. It's music to our ears to hear the tires singing a uniform, productive squeal in a straight-line stop on dry pavement, each one held very close to its slip target of 5 to 7 percent . This sound is similar to the wheelspin during maximum acceleration that EVs can maintain due to the exacting precision of controlling an electric motor.
The demo vehicle uses two different actuation methods: in the front, each caliper has its own master cylinder, which is connected hydraulically to the fixed caliper. But that master cylinder is actuated by a small electric motor. In the rear, an electric motor—similar to that of today's ubiquitous electric parking brakes—directly squeezes each floating caliper, and there's no hydraulic connection whatsoever.
