Abstract
The tubular part (9) of the hub (7) of the piston assembly (5), which encloses the distribution valve (8), supports an assembly (200) consisting of a guiding ring (21) and a seal (20) cooperating with the internal wall of a tubular part (22) mounted, for example crimped, inside a central duct (23) of the rear shell (2) of the servomotor housing (1) and having a first end part (26) extending so as to project axially into the rear working chamber (4) of the servomotor. Advantageously, the tubular part (22) has a second end part (37) forming a stop (36) for a limit member (31) associated with input rod (12) and forming a bearing for the return spring (30) of the input rod (12).
Claims7
A servomotor for assisted braking, comprising, inside a housing, a piston assembly dividing the housing internally into a vacuum chamber and a working chamber and comprising a tubular piston hub enclosing distribution valve means actuable by an input rod, the tubular hub being sealingly and slidingly guided, inside a tubular structure connected fixedly with the housing, by an assembly comprising a guiding ring and a sliding seal which isolate the working chamber from atmosphere, characterized in that the assembly comprising the guiding ring and sliding seal is mounted on the tubular hub and the tubular structure having a first end part extending so as to project into the working chamber, the tubular structure comprising a tubular part mounted in sealed fashion inside a central tubular portion of the housing, the tubular part and the tubular portion fixed rigidly to each other by crimping, and the assembly comprising the guiding ring and sliding seal being mounted on a free end of the tubular hub.
