A hydraulic block of a slip regulation system of a hydraulic external force vehicle brake system that has a master brake cylinder bore and forms a master brake cylinder. In order to prevent a hard impact of a master brake cylinder piston on an end stop when the master brake cylinder is released, in particular when there is a sudden release, for example when the driver's foot slips off the brake pedal, the present invention provides a hydraulic return flow damper that is integrated in the master brake cylinder piston.

An emergency braking device including an actuator (2), a pressurizing circuit (3) supplying the actuator (2) via a control pressure and a discharge circuit (4). The discharge circuit (4) includes restrictors (13, 14) for controlling the pressure and/or flow rate of the supply fluid of the actuator (2) during a discharge of the actuator. The restrictors (13, 14) are configured to define an intermediate pressure between a low pressure level and the control pressure of the actuator (2).

The invention relates to an emergency braking device comprising an actuator (2), a pressurizing circuit (3) supplying the actuator (2) via a control pressure and a discharge circuit (4), characterized in that the discharge circuit (4) comprises means (13, 14) for controlling the pressure and/or flow rate of the supply fluid of the actuator (2) during a discharge of the actuator, these control means (13, 14) being configured to define an intermediate pressure between a low pressure level and the control pressure of the actuator (2).

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 valve assembly for a pneumatic system of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, including: an outlet valve assembly for venting the pneumatic system, a control device for operating the valve assembly in order to admit and release air to and from a pneumatic actuator, wherein the control device is configured to output, to the outlet valve assembly, a switching signal for switching the outlet valve assembly, and, via the switching signal, the outlet valve assembly can be switched to a noise-reducing first venting mode or a quick-venting second venting mode.
