Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif de frein qui apporte la possibilité de réduire à un minimum la consommation d'énergie. Le dispositif de frein comprend un servo-dispositif du type à biellette (3) qui relie une pédale de frein (2) à une tringle (4) et qui amplifie la force de manœuvre (force de pression (Fp)) de la pédale de frein (2) et transmet le résultat à la tringle (4). Le servo-dispositif du type à biellette (3) est réglé de telle sorte que l'amplitude de course dans la direction axiale (la course (Sr)) de la tringle (4) est plus petite que l'amplitude de course (course de pédale (Sp)) de la pédale de frein (2).
