Bill of Materials

All pneumatic ports standardized to G1/4 unless noted. Tubing is 6 mm OD / 4 mm ID throughout. FS 2026 rules: push-in fittings are allowed for ASB/EBS, but we prefer compression (union nut) fittings. Exception: the SDE5 sensor has an integrated QS-6 push-in port.

This BOM covers the full design (ASB + OR valve). The simplified design uses the same parts minus the ASB valve, OR valve, ASB coil, and one silencer/connector.

The BOM follows the pneumatic path from compressor/tank to actuator.

Compressor & Tank

12V portable compressor with integrated 6 L tank. Fills the system and maintains pressure.

Tubing

Status Part No. Description Festo link

Pressure Sensor 1 (tank side, before regulator)

Monitors tank/supply pressure. Connects directly to tubing via integrated 6 mm push-in fitting. Max measurement range: 10 bar — no overpressure rating documented.

Status Part No. Description Festo link
Reuse 567465 SDE5-D10-NF-Q6E-V-M8 pressure sensor, 0-10 bar, 0-10V analog, M8 connector, QS-6 push-in Festo

Datasheet (local): 567465datasheet.pdf

Warning: This sensor is rated 0-10 bar. The tank side may see up to 8.3 bar (compressor max). If placed before the regulator, ensure supply pressure stays within 10 bar or the sensor may be damaged.

Manual Valve (brake release / isolation)

Manual valve for brake release during maintenance and system isolation. Reuse existing on-hand valve.

Status Part No. Description Notes
Reuse Manual valve, G1/4 On-hand from previous seasons

Low-Pressure Regulator

Adjustable regulator to set maximum system working pressure downstream of the tank. Updated to D7 variant for higher output range (0.5-12 bar vs D6's 0.5-10 bar).

Status Part No. Description Festo link
Buy 527690 MS4-LR-1/4-D7-AD10 pressure regulator, G1/4, 0.5-12 bar Festo

Datasheet (local): 527690datasheet.pdf

Note: The D7-AD10 subtype is selected within the same Festo product page as the D6 variant. The D6 maxes out at 7 bar (confirmed on unit label: p2 max 7 bar / 105 psi), which is too low for our system. The D7 extends output to 0.5-12 bar — there is no intermediate variant capping at 10 bar.

Warning — max system pressure is 10 bar. The D7 regulator can output up to 12 bar, but all downstream components are rated at 10 bar or below (VUVS valves: 10 bar, SDE5 sensors: 10 bar, ADN-S actuator: 10 bar, VPPM inlet: 11 bar). Never set the regulator above 10 bar or downstream components may be damaged. There is no MS4-LR variant that caps at exactly 10 bar (D6 = 7 bar, D7 = 12 bar), so operational discipline or a downstream relief valve is required.

Pressure Sensor 2 (regulated side, before valves)

Monitors regulated pressure entering the valve stage. Same model as sensor 1.

EBS Electrovalve (emergency braking)

Normally-open solenoid valve. When powered (driving): closed. When unpowered (emergency): opens and delivers full supply pressure to the actuator. In both simplified and full designs. Max operating pressure: 10 bar (2.5-10 bar range).

Status Part No. Description Festo link

ASB Electrovalve (VPPM supply isolation)

Normally-closed solenoid valve in series before the VPPM. When powered (driving): open, allowing regulated pressure to reach the VPPM. When unpowered (emergency): closes, cutting supply to the VPPM to prevent any potential seal-degradation leakage. Full design only — not needed in simplified design. Max operating pressure: 10 bar (2.5-10 bar range).

VPPM Proportional Valve (ASB)

Proportionally controls brake pressure during autonomous driving. All ports blocked when unpowered (see VPPM analysis). Max inlet pressure: 11 bar (port 1). Output regulation range: 0-10 bar.

Shuttle Valve (OR valve)

Ball-type shuttle valve that merges the EBS and VPPM output lines. Whichever side has higher pressure pushes the ball to seal the other port, preventing backflow. Full design only — not needed in simplified design.

Note: CK-1/4 qty increased from ~10 to ~15. The 6 extra fittings are for the NPFC-T threaded ports (3 ports × 2 T-adapters = 6 CK fittings).

Change: TCK-1/4-PK-4 (4487) replaced by NPFC-T-3G14-F (8030236). The TCK was a push-in T-fitting; the NPFC-T is a threaded T-adapter that accepts CK compression fittings at each port, giving a more secure connection.
