Often you will listen to the ABS name if you buy a bike or verify the motorcycle. This is the anti -lock braking system. This feature is available in two ways – single channel, ie a wheel and dual channel, ie both wheels. But, how does ABS work, it's curious to many. Let's find out some important information about ABS.
How does Anti Lock Breaking System (ABS) work
ABS is one of the most important features in the safety of any bike or scooter. The bike has numerous sensors and controllers, which constantly examine the wheel and speed of the bike and help to manage ABS. Basically, a special sensor electronic control unit (ECU) is warned when a wheel is ready to lock up. Then, the pressure that causes the brake to change the friction rapidly changes the ECU, so that the wheel does not lock up.
Most systems have an ABS pump, which restore the brake pressure immediately and the valve breaks the brake pressure according to the instruction from the ECU. The wheel is not locked for the entire process. There is an actor to avoid this lock, which changes the brake pressure and shows the dashboard warning of the bike, whether the ABS system is working properly.
Why is the anti -lock braking system urgent?
ABS helps keep bikes stable. Especially in the situation of the jerk. As well as the wheel does not get stuck. This feature reduces the risk of accidents and operates braking quickly and more efficiently in emergency situations. In addition, tires and braking parts prevent extra work and increase their durability.
As motorcycle accidents increase in India, companies convert this feature into a standard system. This facility is available in most bikes of 120 cc or more.
ABS related myth
There is a misconception about this feature, which is that it reduces braking efficiency. But, in reality ABS increases control and helps avoid skiding. However, many believe that AB just works on wet or slippery streets, though companies who make it claim, ABS is effective in all tracks.
