A pneumatic brake booster for motor vehicles, comprises a booster housing, the interior of which is separated into a working chamber and a low-pressure chamber by an axially movable wall that can be supplied with a pneumatic differential pressure; a control housing; and a control valve which controls a differential pressure between the working chamber and the low-pressure chamber. The control valve controls an airflow between the working chamber and the low-pressure chamber or a surrounding atmosphere. The control valve has a plate valve and a valve piston, a seal region of which can be sealingly placed on the plate valve and which can be moved in a stroke direction R. A fine and low-noise metering of the brake force is achieved by providing a throttle point between the valve piston and the plate valve for throttling the airflow dependent on the stroke.

A vehicle brake booster includes a brake input member configured to receive a braking input force and a booster housing divided into a first chamber adjacent the brake input member and a second chamber remote from the brake input member. A poppet valve includes a poppet valve body and a poppet seal, the poppet valve operable to maintain separation between pressure and vacuum during assisted braking and further being operable to enable evacuation of the air from the first chamber through one or more side ports of the poppet valve body upon release of the braking input force and completion of the assisted braking A restrictor element provides a predetermined release speed for the booster. The one or more side ports define a total flow resistance of the poppet valve body which is less than an effective total flow resistance of the poppet valve body set by the restrictor element.

A method of manufacturing a plate plunger with which a reaction disc comes into contact and which determines a servo ratio of a vacuum booster, the plate plunger manufacturing method comprising primarily processing a plate plunger base material in such a way that an outer peripheral diameter of a reaction disc contact surface of the plate plunger becomes equal to or greater than an outer peripheral diameter, and forming the reaction disc contact surface of the plate plunger in such a way that it has an outer peripheral diameter corresponding to a desired servo ratio by secondarily processing a servo ratio determination surface.

A pneumatic piston for an electropneumatic modulator in which the modulator includes a piston housing with a chamber for receiving the pneumatic piston. The pneumatic piston includes a sealing element for sealing an intermediate space between the pneumatic piston and the piston housing; a piston body with a recess for receiving the sealing element; and a securing element configured to fix the sealing element in the recess in a form-fitting manner.
