A valve (actuator) (100,300) for performing pressurization, decompression and pressure maintenance drives plural spools (30,32,34) movable up and down within a housing (20) having plural bores (22,24) by using linear shape memory alloy members (40,42,44), and an anti-lock brake system (200) utilizes the valve (100), in which respective bores (22,24) have inlets (22a,24a) and outlets (22b,24b), a mechanism (60) for holding a lowering state of the spools (30,32,34) is installed to the lower portion (28) of the housing (20), and the spools (30,32,34) return to their original positions by bias springs (50,52,56). A master cylinder (220), a wheel brake (254) and a hydraulic pump (242) are connected to the inlets (22a,24a) and outlets (22b,24b) of the valve (100) of the anti-lock brake system (200) and an electronic control unit (70) is connected to the shape memory alloy members (40,42,44) to actuate the shape memory alloy members (40,42,44), thereby attaining the operations of pressurization, decompression and pressure maintenance of the wheel brake (254). <MATH> |
