Overview |
A power brake generates hydraulic pressure in the brake system to operate wheel brakes. A power brake consists of a booster and a master cylinder. A booster amplifies(boosts) force that a driver applies to a brake pedal at a constant ratio; delivers it to a master cylinder which converts the force into hydraulic pressure. A booster amplifies the force.

Operation Principle |
A booster uses differential pressure between air pressure in an air inlet of engine and atmospheric pressure to amplify the force, and a master cylinder converts the force into hydraulic pressure to operate wheel brakes.
