Pneumatic booster
A valve body 2 is connected to a power piston, which divides a housing into a constant pressure chamber (negative pressure) and a variable pressure chamber. In the valve body 2, there is provided a brake assisting mechanism 10 between a reaction disk 3 and a plunger 9. A poppet seal 12 is opened by movement of the plunger 9, to thereby introduce atmospheric air into the variable pressure chamber and generate a thrust force in the power piston. During rapid braking, a plunger rod 23 advances relative to a sleeve 21, and balls 30 shift outward and the plunger rod 23 directly abuts against a reaction rod 22, resulting in contraction of the brake assisting mechanism 10. Therefore, the amount of movement of the plunger 9 can be increased without being affected by a reaction force from the reaction disk 3, thus enabling rapid development of servo power.
