Abstract
An electromechanical brake booster is provided for a braking system of a vehicle, having a valve body and an input rod, the valve body, to which at a displacement motion in a brake application direction has been imparted, being displaceable up to a differential travel equal to a limit differential travel with reference to the input rod, and then a co-displacement motion in the brake application direction being impartable to the input rod if the co-displacement motion is acted against at most by a retention force below a predefined threshold value, and at least one buffer element being disposed on the input rod and/or on the valve body in such a way that if a retention force above the predefined threshold value acts against the co-displacement motion, the differential travel is increasable above the limit differential travel by way of a deformation of the at least one buffer element.
