Abstract

A switching device for a switchable braking system may have a hydraulic selector valve switchable to a first switching position and a second switching position, a switching actuation device, electrically triggerable, for switching the hydraulic selector valve from the first switching position to the second switching position. The switching device may have at least one of: i) a switching preservation system, which stops the hydraulic selector valve in the second switching position by means of a non-electromagnetic stopping force, chosen from the group consisting of fluid-mechanical forces, elastic forces, mechanical forces, permanent magnetic forces, or ii) an amplification system having, a non-electrical accumulator of potential energy, and a switchable connector to disconnect and connect the potential energy accumulator with the hydraulic selector valve. An actuator applies an actuating force to the switchable connector to connect the potential energy accumulator to the hydraulic selector valve.
