  • Patent number: 8631735
    Abstract: There is provided a pneumatic booster, comprising: a front shell; a rear shell; a housing formed as that respective openings of the front shell and the rear shell are integrally connected to each other, and a power piston arranged in the housing so as to divide an interior of the housing into a constant-pressure chamber on the front shell side and a working-pressure chamber on the rear shell side, wherein thrust force of the power piston generated by pressure difference between the constant-pressure chamber and the working-pressure chamber is applied to inputted force transmitted from a brake pedal to an input rod so as to obtain combined force, the combined force being outputted with a given boost ratio from an output rod, and wherein a thickness of the front shell is made to be thinner than a thickness of the rear shell.
