Servo brake
Should de Hidrovacuo = SERVO BRAKE = Um mecanismo montado no sistema de freios que reduz o esforço físico exigido ao motorista para carregar no pedal dos freios. Consiste num servo cilindro onde se encontra um pistão ou diafragma. Quando o ar é extraído de uma das extremidades do cilindro e a pressão atmosférica é admitida na outra, a diferença entre as pressões do dois lados do pistão (ou do diafragma) pode ser utilizada para facilitar a aplicação dos freios, como complemento da força física exercida pelo motorista sobre o pedal de freio.

From wikipedia:
A vacuum servo is a component used on motor vehicles in their braking system, to provide assistance to the driver by decreasing the braking effort. In the USA it is commonly called a brake booster.

From Howstuffworks
If you've ever opened the hood of your car, you've probably seen the brake booster. It's the round, black cannister located at the back of the engine compartment on the driver's side of the car.
Back in the day, when most cars had drum brakes, power brakes were not really necessary -- drum brakes naturally provide some of their own power assist. Since most cars today have disc brakes, at least on the front wheels, they need power brakes. Without this device, a lot of drivers would have very tired legs.
The brake booster uses vacuum from the engine to multiply the force that your foot applies to the master cylinder. In this article, we'll see what's inside the black cannister that provides power braking.
