ATE – Pneumatic Brake Booster (Part No.N4000406810ATE)

Pneumatic Brake Booster

from

$265.75
ATE supplies brake boosters in single or tandem versions and in all desired sizes and is one of the world’s leading OE suppliers of brake control and brake assist systems. The tie rod version, which is available for all designs, provides further weight reduction and additional optimized elongation characteristics. Front-bolt concepts on a tie-rod basis facilitate installation. Electric and mechanical brake assist systems, sensors for OHB, ACC, ESC, etc., as well as measures designed to optimize crash behavior complete the product portfolio. Brake assist systems are an important aid in emergency braking situations in which a driver needs to respond to an emergency situation, but does not apply the brakes with sufficient pressure. The brake assist recognizes the brake application speed to detect this type of panic situation, and activates the brake booster or the EBS hydraulic unit. Maximum braking is thus achieved although the force on the brake pedal is low – the shorter braking distance can even be life-saving.

Product Features:
  • Original equipment (OE) quality
  • Wide range of single and tandem Brake Boosters
  • Unique tie-rod design meaning lighter and thinner parts for more efficient performance
  • Most units are made of steel, but lightweight aluminium versions are also available.
