A pressure generator for a hydraulic power braking system. The pressure generator is designed to have a ball thread drive and a planetary gear, a spindle nut of the ball thread drive forming a planetary carrier for planetary wheels of the planetary gear. A sun wheel is non-rotatably fixed to a hollow shaft of an electric hollow shaft motor and together with the hollow shaft rotatably supported. The electric hollow shaft motor surrounds the ball thread drive and the planetary gear.

A Venturi device for producing vacuum from fluids in an engine system has a body defining a Venturi gap separating apart an outlet end of a converging motive section and an inlet end of a diverging discharge section by a lineal distance, and a suction port in fluid communication with the Venturi gap. The converging motive section and the diverging discharge section both gradually, continuously taper toward the Venturi gap, the converging motive section defines a circular-shaped motive inlet and an elliptical- or polygonal-shaped motive outlet, the diverging discharge section defines an elliptical- or polygonal-shaped discharge inlet, and an inner passageway of the converging motive section transitions as a hyperbolic function from the motive inlet to the elliptical- or polygonal-shaped motive outlet.

A valve body is described for a braking system of a motor vehicle, having an insulating element inserted into a passthrough opening of the valve body, which is embodied to insulate a contact pin with respect to a surface of the passthrough opening, the insulating element being embodied integrally with the passthrough opening. A hydraulic unit is described for the braking system of the motor vehicle.

Valves having a sprung gate of various constructions are disclosed. In one embodiment, the sprung gate includes a first endless elastic band having an inner perimeter defining an open space sandwiched between a first gate member and a second gate member that each define an opening therethrough in an open position portion thereof. The first endless elastic band is sandwiched therebetween with its open space oriented for alignment with the opening in both of the first and second gate members, which are aligned with one another to form a passage through the sprung gate. In one aspect, the first endless elastic band in positioned inward a distance from the outer sides of the first and second gate members and spaces the first gate member a distance apart from the second gate member thereby defining a channel having a bottom defined by the first endless elastic band.
