Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling/regulating the boosting of a brake force of a brake system (), in particular of a power-assisted brake system () of a motor vehicle, wherein the brake system () comprises a brake force booster () having an actuator () by means of which a variable additional force (F) can be imparted to a master brake cylinder () of the brake system (), wherein if a relatively high additional force (F) is demanded, a partial volume of a brake fluid is discharged from a brake circuit () of the brake system () in such a way that the actuator () of the brake force booster () can be placed relatively quickly into a position in which it can impart a greater additional force (F) to the master brake cylinder (). The invention also relates to a brake force booster for boosting a brake force of a brake system (), in particular of a power-assisted brake system () of a motor vehicle, having a gearing () which can be driven by an electric motor (), wherein the gearing () has an actuator () by means of which a piston () of a master brake cylinder () can be actuated, and wherein the gearing () is a cam mechanism (), in particular an asymmetrical cam mechanism (), having a control surface () or a control groove.
