What does a vacuum-assisted braking system mean?
1 Answers
Vacuum-assisted braking system is also known as vacuum brake booster system and vacuum servo brake system. The servo brake system is based on manual hydraulic braking, with an additional set of power-assisted devices provided by other energy sources to generate braking force, allowing the combination of human power and mechanical power. In other words, it utilizes both human power and engine power as braking energy sources. Additional information: 1. The braking systems of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles mainly use hydraulic pressure as the transmission medium. Compared to pneumatic braking systems that can provide a power source, they require a power-assisted system to aid the driver in braking. 2. Under normal circumstances, its output working pressure is mainly generated by the power servo system. Therefore, when the power servo system fails, the hydraulic system can still be fully driven by human power to generate a certain degree of braking force.
