Abstract
A hydraulic servo for friction brakes of an automatic transmission comprises a cylinder (2) with a main piston (3) arranged therein, a smaller cylinder (8) to receive a smaller compensation piston (9), the smaller cylinder communicating with the pressure chamber (5) of the main piston (3) through an orifice (18) controlled by a ball valve (20). A stepped bore (22) connects the pressure chamber (5) to the compensation chamber (17). A stepped piston (23), located in the bore, forms a discharge control valve (24), which controls the discharge of pressure medium from the compensation chamber (17).
