Abstract
A pneumatic brake booster ( ), in particular for motor vehicles, is described. The pneumatic brake booster ( ) has a control valve ( ) for controlling a pneumatic pressure difference, a force input element ( ) for actuating the control valve ( ), a force output element ( ) for transmitting the braking force as well as a reaction disk ( ) of elastomer material disposed between the force output element ( ) and the force input element ( ). Disposed between the reaction disk ( ) and the force input element ( ) and acting upon the reaction disk ( ) is a unit ( ) for altering the force transmission ratio between the force input element ( ) and the force output element ( ) in dependence upon the force exerted upon the force input element ( ). The unit ( ) comprises a displaceable inner piston ( ) as well as an outer piston ( ), which surrounds the radially outer side of the inner piston ( ) and is displaceable relative to the inner piston ( ). The inner piston ( ) has at the radially outer side or the outer piston ( ) at the radially inner side a depression ( ) for receiving material particles, which depression ( ) is covered by the in each case other piston ( ).
