ELECTRICAL BRAKE PRESSURE LIMITER AND CONTROLLER

An electrical brake pressure limiter and controller is provided for negating the characteristic high amplitude initial torque peak of carbon brakes. The system sets an initial level of brake pressure and then controls the rate of growth of brake pressure to obtain smooth and efficient braking. A brake pedal transducer presents a signal to a microprocessor which is indicative of brake pedal position. The microprocessor compares this signal with an output signal to the brake and, dependent upon such comparison, it modifies the brake signal within controlled limits.
