Hydro Boost Conversion

Image
A brake booster is a critical component of many braking systems. It magnifies the slowing or stopping force of the existing brake system, making it more powerful and more effective. Hydroboost Brake units use power steering pressure instead of engine vacuum for brake assist. This is sometimes necessary if the engine does not create enough vacuum to assist the braking system. Hydro-boost power assist was introduced in 1973 by Bendix as an alternative to the vacuum booster. The hydro-boost uses the hydraulic pressure from the power steering system to provide the driver assist in applying the brakes.   The vehicle requires more assist than is available from a vacuum booster. A hydroboost unit is located between the firewall and the master cylinder and has hydraulic lines leading from the power steering pump to the power steering gear. It uses a spool valve and power piston to regulate pressure. A spring loaded or nitrogen gas charged accumulator is used in case of a power ...

Hydraulic Cylinders for Safety and Comfortable Riding

The hydraulic cylinders are recognized for the huge power distributed by them. The huge power that can be achieved with the assist of the hydraulic cylinders have made them essential parts of all types of weighty equipments and weighty vehicles such as the bulldozers, forklifts, excavators etc . Unlike the olden days when the hydraulic cylinder were only employed in applications like weighty equipments and manufacturing industries, today, they have established their place in conventional domestic applications such as the habitual automotive parts, door stoppers, elevators etc. In fact the implementation of the thought of hydraulic cylinder in domestic applications has attached large convenience and safety to our lives. When it arrives to hydraulic cylinder applications in domestic applications, the conventional vehicle parts are the most excellent examples. Hydraulic Brakes for Extra Safety The hydraulic brakes current in the predictable cars are excellent examples for t...
