2. 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 ...

3. 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. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   The vacuum booster or vacuum servo is used in most modern hydraulic brake systems which contain four wheels, the vacuum booster is attached between the master cylinder and the brake pedal and multiplies the braking force applied by the driver.

5. Vacuum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_brake

   The automatic vacuum brake was slightly more expensive to manufacture and install than the simple system due to it requiring a higher number of machined parts, and incurred higher running costs since the ejector ran continuously (at a cost in steam and thus fuel and water) to maintain the vacuum when the train was running, rather than only ...

6. S-cam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-cam

   An S-cam is part of a braking system used in heavy vehicles such as trucks and wheeled machinery. It consists of a shaft, usually around 4 to 25 inches long, turned at one end by means of an air-powered brake booster and lever with an S-shaped cam at the wheel end. Turning the shaft pushes the brake shoes against the drum, producing friction.
