Mercedes Benz Brake Booster

When it comes to safety, your Mercedes Benz is geared with real functional and performance safety equipments like its powerful braking system. This is the mechanism that stops and absorbs the energy from your moving vehicle and covert it into heat. Since proper braking action is highly critical for the safety of your vehicle as well as its passengers, all its components must be at their top working conditions. One important brake part that amplifies the available foot pressure that you apply on the brake pedal is the Mercedes Benz brake booster. Its function is necessary in order to maximize the amount of available foot pressure so that when there is a need for massive stopping, the force exerted is only minimal. This way you don’t have to strenuously step on the brake pedal and apply force just to bring your vehicle into a stop.

Usually, the Mercedes brake booster is located on the firewall, directly behind the master cylinder. The power for the booster is derived from the engine vacuum. This vacuum is created in the engine and serves as the by-product of its normal operation and is freely available for use in powering all other engine mounted accessories such as the brake booster. The vacuum enters the booster via a check valve. This check valve is located on the booster and is connected to the engine with a rubber hose and serves as a one-way valve that permits the entry of the vacuum to the booster and prevents it from escaping. The Mercedes Benz brake booster is basically an empty shell that is separated into two chambers. There is a valve in the diaphragm that stays open when you foot is off the brake pedal. This allows the vacuum to fill both chambers. As you step on the brake pedal, the valve closes separating two chambers and another valve opens to permit air inside the chamber. This is what provides the power assist for the booster.
