A pedal operating unit having a brake pedal, which is mounted to be pivotable about a first pivot, and a restoring mechanism, wherein the restoring mechanism is designed to apply a restoring force to the brake pedal in the direction of its rest position when the brake pedal is deflected out of the rest position thereof. The restoring mechanism has at least one first restoring device and one second restoring device. An increase in the restoring force is effected, in particular exclusively, by the first restoring device over a first angular range of a pivoting movement of the brake pedal about the first pivot, and an increase in the restoring force is effected, in particular exclusively, by the second restoring device over a second angular range of a pivoting movement of the brake pedal about the first pivot.

Pedal operating unit

An apparatus having a housing, a cavity which is disposed in the housing and which at least in regions is configured as a bore in which at least one piston and one piston spring associated with the piston are received, wherein the piston spring in the bore when activating the piston in the operation of the apparatus is compressed by the piston. The piston spring is configured from a magnetic or magnetizable material, the piston is configured from a non-magnetic material, and an assembly unit which comprises the piston having the piston spring is provided, and in which the piston spring is held on the piston by a magnetic field.

Unit having at least one piston with an associated piston spring

A hydraulic unit for generating brake pressure for a hydraulic brake system, comprising a housing which is produced from a cast blank, wherein the cast blank has at least one receiving cavity which is provided for machining to form a receiving profile for sealingly receiving a connecting piece, which is connected to a fluid container and can be plugged into the receiving profile along a plug-in axis, wherein the housing comprises at least one piston bore for receiving at least one piston, which is driven along a piston bore axis into the cast blank.

Hydraulic unit for generating brake pressure for a hydraulic brake system

A hydraulic assembly for generating brake pressure for a hydraulic brake system, comprising a housing which is produced from a cast blank, having at least one receiving cavity for receiving a connector piece which is connected to a fluid container and which can be plugged along a plug-in axis (S) into the receiving cavity. The cast blank has, in the receiving cavity, at least one substantially planar surface, the normal vector (N) of which is oriented at an oblique inclination angle (W) with respect to the plug-in axis (S).

A brake device for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system without a vacuum booster, with a housing with at least one pressure chamber arranged therein, with a cylinder piston which can be axially moved in an actuation direction by an actuating rod unit coupled to the cylinder piston in order to generate brake pressure, wherein a rigid stop is provided for the cylinder piston which defines the non-actuated starting position of the cylinder piston. In order to provide an improved brake device of the above-mentioned type, which permits simple and reliable detection of the zero point and simultaneously has reduced noise emission on the return, a damping element is provided which permits a mechanical decoupling of the actuating rod unit from the cylinder piston in a release direction opposite the actuation direction by reversible deformation.

Brake device for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system

A master cylinder for a regulated braking system having at least one piston, which is movable in a housing and which is sealed from a pressure chamber by a sealing element arranged in a ring groove of the housing, which can be connected to an unpressurized supply chamber by control passages designed in the pistons. In order to reduce the flow resistance of the control passages at the same dead stroke, the control passages have a control edge designed parallel to a piston end face of at least one of the pistons.

Master cylinder for a regulated braking system

A master cylinder for a controlled brake system, including at least one piston which is displaceable in a housing and is sealed with respect to a pressure chamber by a sealing element arranged in an annular groove of the housing, which pressure chamber is connectable to an unpressurized supply chamber by control passages formed in the piston. The pistonis formed in at least two parts, including a main body and an annular control element, the control passages being provided in the control element.

Master cylinder, in particular for a controlled brake system

A tandem-type pneumatic brake booster, in particular for hydraulic vehicle brake systems, having a housing comprising a first and a second housing half shell, the interior of which is divided with the aid of a partition into a front and a rear booster chamber, wherein the partition has a centrally arranged, circular cavity, through which a control housing or a cylindrical control housing extension extends, and the partition rests sealingly against the control housing or the control housing extension by a sealing element, having a first and a second movable wall, which respectively subdivide the front and the rear booster chamber into a first low-pressure chamber and a first working chamber and into a second low-pressure chamber and a second working chamber, having at least one connecting conduit between the first working chamber and the second working chamber in order to equalize the pressure between said two working chambers.

Pneumatic brake booster

A master cylinder, especially for a controlled brake system, includes at least one pistondisplaceable in a housing, which is sealed in relation to a pressure chamberby means of a sealing elementarranged in an annular grooveof the housing, said pressure chamber being connectable to an unpressurized supply chamberby means of transverse boresprovided in the piston Several recessesare arranged on an inside surfaceof the pistoninto which the transverse boresopen.

Master cylinder, especially for a controlled brake system

The invention relates to a sealing collar for a cylinder-and-piston unit, wherein the sealing collar is essentially received in a groove that is inserted into the cylinder or the piston, respectively, and the sealing collar comprises two sealing lips, the first sealing lip thereof being acted upon dynamically and making catch at the piston or the cylinder, respectively, while the second sealing lip thereof is acted upon statically and rests on a bottom of the groove. It is the core of the invention that the sealing collar includes a circumferential extension that extends in parallel to the sealing lips, is arranged radially between the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip and projects from the sealing lips in an axial direction.

Sealing collar

The invention relates to a piston unit having a captive spring for a cylinder, particularly for a tandem master cylinder of a motor vehicle, wherein the spring, with a first end, is supported at least indirectly on a piston and, with a second end, is supported on a retaining device that can be displaced relative to the piston, and the movement of the retaining device relative to the piston is limited by securing means. The invention is characterized in that the securing means have a projection, which is mounted in a non-detachable manner on the piston and whose free end is provided with a stop that limits the movement of the retaining device relative to the piston.
