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 ...

4. 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 ...

5. Vacuum pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_pump

   In the field of oil regeneration and re-refining, vacuum pumps create a low vacuum for oil dehydration and a high vacuum for oil purification. [44] A vacuum may be used to power, or provide assistance to mechanical devices. In hybrid and diesel engine motor vehicles, a pump fitted on the engine (usually on the camshaft) is used to produce a vacuum.

6. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   Brake bleeding is the procedure performed on hydraulic brake systems whereby the brake lines (the pipes and hoses containing the brake fluid) are purged of any air bubbles. This is necessary because, while the brake fluid is an incompressible liquid , air bubbles are compressible gas and their presence in the brake system greatly reduces the ...

7. Rotary vane pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_vane_pump

   Furthermore, vane pumps can be used in low-pressure gas applications such as secondary air injection for auto exhaust emission control, or in low-pressure chemical vapor deposition systems [citation needed]. Rotary-vane pumps are also a common type of vacuum pump, with two-stage pumps able to reach pressures well below 10 −6 bar.
