Abstract
An independent wheel brake unit for an automotive vehicle is furnished with a hydraulic wheel brake (12), a hydraulic pump (2), an accumulator (6) and electrically actuated valves (9, 10, 11) for controlling the brake pressure. The hydraulic pump generates the actuating pressure required for actuating the wheel brake (12) by receiving the kinetic energy of the vehicle through the vehicle wheel. Because the wheel brake unit supplies itself with energy, fuel is saved and the complexity of the electrical wiring system of the automotive vehicle is reduced. All essential components of the unit together with the steering knuckle (16) of the automotive vehicle can be pre-assembled and mounted on the vehicle, as a unit, preferably in an automatic manner, by a robot, thereby substantially reducing the final-assembly costs.
