DESCRIPTION
The M-12
™
antilock modulator is a standard component in
Bendix antilock systems. It is comprised of two components:
solenoids, which rapidly apply and exhaust air during an
antilock stop, and a standard relay valve.
solenoids, which rapidly apply and exhaust air during an
antilock stop, and a standard relay valve.
During normal, non-antilock operation, the M-12
™
modulator
serves as a relay valve that speeds the application and release
of the service brakes. If wheel lock up is impending, a antilock
controller commands the solenoids to modulate brake
chamber pressure on the axle(s) on which the system is
installed.
of the service brakes. If wheel lock up is impending, a antilock
controller commands the solenoids to modulate brake
chamber pressure on the axle(s) on which the system is
installed.
The M-12
™
modulator is offered in two configurations as
illustrated in figure 1. The M-12
™
modulator permits direct
attachment of an antilock controller, and it accepts electronic
commands from the controller through a four pin connector
(see Figure 1). The M-12R
commands from the controller through a four pin connector
(see Figure 1). The M-12R
™
modulator is designed for remote
mounting on a vehicle frame rail or cross member. It accepts
electronic commands from a remote mounted controller
through a wire harness assembly that has a four pin
connector at one end and a three pin connector at the other
(see Figure 1). The M-12
electronic commands from a remote mounted controller
through a wire harness assembly that has a four pin
connector at one end and a three pin connector at the other
(see Figure 1). The M-12
™
modulator and M-12R
™
modulator
differ from each other only in that the M-12
