Abstract:
1. A servobrake for motor vehicles comprising: a booster housing having an interior which is subdivided by a movable wall into a vacuum chamber and a working chamber, a control housing for carrying the movable wall, a control valve arranged in the control housing that is configured to control a pneumatic pressure difference acting on the movable wall and is configured to be actuated by an actuating rod and valve piston or by an electromagnet independently of the actuating rod, wherein the control valve comprises three seal seats arranged concentrically with respect to one another and a valve body which cooperates with the seal seats and includes axial passages, the first seal seat being formed in the control housing, the second seal seat being formed on the valve piston, and the third seal seat being formed on a sleeve cooperating with the electromagnet, and an annular element arranged displaceably with respect to the third seal seat and being positioned to bear against an elastic or a compressible element which in turn bears against the sleeve, the annular element having partial areas separated from one another by radial openings and a peripheral ring disposed to contact the valve body, wherein, in a release position, the peripheral ring of the annular element is arranged axially offset towards the valve body with respect to the third seal seat, the annular element being arranged radially inside the sleeve such that the partial areas are configured to at least partially open the passages provided in the valve body, wherein the peripheral ring guides an air flow produced during normal braking in the direction of the working chamber.
