  2. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    Vacuum boosters provide brake assist for the driver by multiplying the force out of the booster creating more than the force that was used to push on the brake pedal. The booster works by pulling the air out of the booster chamber with a pump or other vacuum source (typically the engine's intake manifold [1]), creating a low-pressure system ...

  3. Vacuum servo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_servo

    A vacuum servo is a component used on motor vehicles in their braking system, to provide assistance to the driver by decreasing the braking effort. In the US it is commonly called a brake booster . A vacuum servo, also known as a power booster or power brake unit, uses a vacuum, usually supplied by the engine, to multiply the driver's pedal ...

  4. Automobile accessory power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_accessory_power

    The most ubiquitous vacuum-powered accessory is the booster for the power brake system. The vacuum is only an assist and the brakes can still function, requiring greater force, if the booster vacuum is used up. Many older vehicles used vacuum-powered windshield wipers. Loss of manifold vacuum when the engine was working hard, or at wide open ...

  5. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    This type of system is called "Pressure-Suction" type and air is forced into the scoop of the breather and by vacuum is draw out by the road draft tube. Another type used of the pressure suction type was used on VW Porsche air cooled engines whereby the front crankcase pulley has a reverse screw built into it which brings air into the engine ...

  6. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    A vacuum ejector, or simply ejector, is a type of vacuum pump, which produces vacuum by means of the Venturi effect.. In an ejector, a working fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a jet nozzle into a tube that first narrows and then expands in cross-sectional area.

  7. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-by-wire

    SpeedE, an academic concept car developed for studying drive-by-wire technologies such as brake-by-wire. Brake-by-wire technology in the automotive industry is the ability to control brakes through electronic means, without a mechanical connection that transfers force to the physical braking system from a driver input apparatus such as a pedal or lever.

  8. Electronic parking brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Park_Brake

    Electric park brake in the center console in a Volkswagen Golf Variant. An electronic parking brake (EPB), also known as an electric parking brake or electric park brake, is an electronically controlled parking brake, whereby the driver activates the holding mechanism with a button and the brake pads are electrically applied to the rear wheels. [1]

  9. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

    Truck air-actuated disc brake. An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.
