Braking System Components

 

Ultra-Quiet Complete Vacuum Assist Kit

Installation Guide

This kit includes everything you need for a vacuum assisted power brake system in an electric vehicle, or to enhance the performance of braking systems in internal combustion vehicles.

The kit comes with all the components needed for a complete vacuum assist solution. This includes an ultra-quiet pump, reservoir, automatic shutoff switch, relay, fuse, and tubing. Most pumps used for vacuum assist produce a noisy drone that diminishes the elegance of quiet electric vehicle operation.

The pump has been measured to produce 72dB at 1ft. A commonly used Thomas brand pump produces 90dB at 1ft. That represents a reduction in noise by a factor of 4. Another important factor though is the time the pump is on. This powerful pump comes on for just seconds (typically around 1s with a press of the pedal), compared to several or more seconds with a pump such as the Thomas pump mentioned. This means you have a lower magnitude of noise for less amount of time, giving you a substantially quieter system!

These parts have been chosen for their professional appearance and performance, while still being a cost effective solution.

Vacuum Reservoir Kit

The days of kludging together a homemade vacuum reservoir are gone! This vacuum reservoir is professionally designed and built for an appealing appearance and long-lasting performance. Avoid the leaks and mounting woes of the home-built option, and go professional.

Includes mounting bracket, 3/8" elbow hose barb, check-valve, and vacuum gauge which is extremely helpful to determine if the system has leaks and is producing sufficient vacuum, as well as for fine tuning the vacuum switch to produce more or less vacuum.

Dimensions: 5" diameter, 6.57" tall

Vacuum Switch


This vacuum switch has 1/8" NPT threads which work perfectly with the reservoir sold on this page. The switch detects when the vacuum pump (sold separately) has developed sufficient vacuum, at which point it closes a switch to turn off the pump. The switch has hysteresis which allows the vacuum to fall a certain percentage before turning the vacuum back on. This keep the pump from rapidly cycling on and off.

The switch includes an adjustment screw to fine-tune your system.

Vacuum Gauge
This vacuum gauge can be used with the reservoir available on this page to determine if there are leaks in the vacuum system, or to simply monitor the vacuum being produced. Has 1/8" NPT threads.

Shock Absorbing Stud Mounts


These shock absorbing stud mounts are especially useful for eliminating vibrations that are inherent when using a vacuum pump. They can also be used in other applications to isolate vibrations and shocks from sensitive equipment.

Price includes one stud and two lock-nuts.
