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. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

   Vacuum-assist brake servos (power brakes) use atmospheric pressure pressing against the engine manifold vacuum to increase pressure on the brakes. Since braking is nearly always accompanied by the closing of the throttle and associated high manifold vacuum, this system is simple and almost foolproof. Vacuum tanks were installed on trailers to ...

6. 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 ...

7. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The hydraulic braking system is designed as a closed system: unless there is a leak in the system, none of the brake fluid enters or leaves it, nor does the fluid get consumed through use. Leakage may happen, however, from cracks in the O-rings or from a puncture in the brake line.
