  • Publication number: 20110120121
    Abstract: The present invention relates chiefly to a hydraulic brake booster comprising a motor, preferably an electric motor. The main subject of the invention is a hydraulic brake booster comprising a thrust chamber (76) receiving, on command, a pressurized hydraulic fluid that drives a hydraulic piston (78) that drives a piston of a master cylinder, characterized in that it comprises a source of pressurized hydraulic liquid (116) provided with an electric motor (88) driving a hydraulic fluid pressuring device. The invention applies notably to the automotive industry. The invention applies mainly to the braking industry.

  • Publication number: 20110120122
    Abstract: The present invention relates mainly to a braking system comprising a master cylinder comprising means of connection to a hydraulic braking circuit and means of connecting at least one chamber of the master cylinder to means of injecting brake fluid into said chamber. The main subject of the invention is a master cylinder (48) comprising at least one variable-volume chamber and one moving piston (207), the movement of which causes the volume of said chamber to vary, and means of connecting said chamber to a hydraulic braking circuit, characterized in that it further comprises means (217) of connection to a source (116) of pressurized brake fluid. The invention applies notably to the motor industry. The invention applies mainly to the braking industry.

  • Publication number: 20110094218
    Abstract: Brake installation consisting of a master cylinder associated with a brake booster furnished with a motor driving an actuator piston and acting on the primary piston of the master cylinder by means of a reaction disk against which the piston rests. For a safety operation, the hydraulic actuator connected to the control rod actuated by the brake pedal rests on the rear face of the reaction disk. The actuator piston is combined with an auxiliary piston in order to interact with the reaction disk and it is guided by its sleeve-shaped portion in a bore of the body of the brake booster. An adapting shim is supported by the auxiliary piston in order to receive as a support the end of a rear rod, secured to the primary piston of the master cylinder. The thickness of the assembly formed by the adapting shim and the auxiliary piston is defined on mounting of the master cylinder and of the brake booster as a function of the free travel measured previously.

  • Publication number: 20100176654
    Abstract: The three-way valve simulator (100) for a vehicle brake servo comprises: a control piston (106); and a reaction piston (140) remote from the control piston when the simulator is at rest. It is arranged such that the control piston, under the effect of a command transmitted from outside the simulator, can be moved over a predetermined travel in the direction of the reaction piston without transmitting stress to the latter.

  • Publication number: 20090160435
    Abstract: The linear sensor 1 for measuring an axial path L0 of a part 2 sliding in an axial direction 20 in a frame 3 comprises a mobile part 4 cooperating with a fixed part 5, said mobile part 4 comprising: a longitudinal element 40 cooperating at one end 400 with said part 2, any translation of said part 2 in said axial path causing a corresponding displacement of its other end 401; and a magnetic field source 41 integral with the end 401, said fixed part 5 comprising a receiving means 50 for said magnetic field. The linear sensor is characterized in that said fixed part 5 comprises an angular redirection means 53 cooperating with said longitudinal element 40 and thus transforming said axial path of the end 400 into a radial path of the other end 401.
