2. Vacuum servo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_servo

   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 effort and apply that effort to the master cylinder .

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. Vacuum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_brake

   Vacuum brake cylinder in running position: the vacuum is the same above and below the piston Air at atmospheric pressure from the train pipe is admitted below the piston, which is forced up. In its simplest form, the automatic vacuum brake consists of a continuous pipe—the train pipe—running throughout the length of the train.

5. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   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.

6. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

   ESC uses a hydraulic modulator to assure that each wheel receives the correct brake force. A similar modulator is used in ABS. Whereas ABS reduces hydraulic pressure during braking, ESC may increase pressure in certain situations, and an active vacuum brake booster unit may be utilised in addition to the hydraulic pump to meet these demanding ...

7. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   Brake booster from a Geo Storm. Most modern passenger vehicles, and light vans, use a vacuum assisted brake system that greatly increases the force applied to the vehicle's brakes by its operator. [4] This additional force is supplied by the manifold vacuum generated by air flow being obstructed by the throttle on a running engine. This force ...
