A vehicle braking system includes an assistance device having a vacuum pump driven by an engine for communicating vacuum to a chamber of the assistance device. A control valve is interposed along a fluid line between the pump and the chamber. The control valve is in its first operative condition, where the inlet side of the vacuum pump communicates with the chamber, when pressure within the chamber is above a predetermined value; and is in its second operative condition, where the inlet side of the vacuum pump communicates with the atmosphere, when pressure within the chamber is below a predetermined value. In this second condition the pump intakes air from and feeds air into the atmosphere, thereby reducing the energy consumption by the engine required for driving the pump during stages where, within the chamber, there is a vacuum sufficient for the regular operation of the braking system.

A brake booster is provided. The brake booster includes a poppet valve body configured to open a path for atmospheric pressure to be introduced into a variable pressure chamber by an operation rod linked with a brake pedal, and a return spring structure disposed on an outer side of the poppet valve body and configured to adjust an elastic force provided to the poppet valve body when an input of the brake pedal is released.

A vacuum brake booster includes: at least one movable wall, which separates a working chamber and a vacuum chamber in the vacuum brake booster from one another, and a control valve unit, which is coupled to the at least one movable wall, the control valve unit comprising a guide sleeve and an actuation piston guided displaceably in the control valve unit, which actuation piston is actuatable by way of a force input member which can be coupled in particular to a brake pedal, the actuation piston having at least one first valve seat, which in the open state is used to connect the working chamber to the ambient atmosphere.

A pressure sensor for a brake booster includes a housing that receives a pressure sensor element and which has a first fluid connection, via which the pressure sensor can be connected to the brake booster. The housing has a second fluid connection with a receiving opening which at least partly receives a flow valve and a connection socket for a vacuum pump, wherein the flow valve releases the flow of fluid in the direction of the vacuum pump and blocks the flow of fluid in the opposite direction. The flow valve is designed as a membrane insert and is inserted into the receiving opening.

A brake booster for a brake system of a vehicle, having a first input piston component, and a valve body. The brake booster has a second input piston component, which is pushed away from the first input piston component in the braking direction using a compression spring, and a locking mechanism is embodied such that when the differential travel between the booster travel and the input travel is smaller than a predefined first limit value, the second input piston component is adjustable using the compression spring together with the valve body away from the first input piston component, and when the differential travel exceeds the first limit differential travel, the second input piston component is locked in place on the first input piston component.
