Abstract

A process for adjusting the travel sensor for a brake power booster movable wall is disclosed to compensate for tolerance variations, in which a fixed stop is installed to engage the output member upon applying a predetermined input force to shift the movable wall to a test location. The distance to the test location of the movable wall from a booster housing reference surface is measured with a measuring instrument installed temporarily in the booster housing opening normally receiving the travel sensor. The tips of the travel sensor is positioned at the test location with the travel sensor in the corresponding signal condition either by using an appropriately dimensioned replaceable tip or sensor holder, or by use of an adjustable length sensor holder.
