An electromechanical brake pressure generator unit () of a brake-by-wire brake system can only be activated electronically and comprises a master brake cylinder (), an electric motor () and a multi-stage intermediate transmission (). A spindle-nut unit () comprises a nut () having a centring surface () by way of which the piston () of the master brake cylinder () is centred.

A force input member for a brake actuating device of a vehicle brake system includes at least one first portion connected to the brake actuating device; at least one second portion connected to a brake pedal; and at least one coupling device. The at least one coupling device couples the first portion and the second portion to one another wherein the at least one coupling device is designed to permit a relative movement between the first portion and the second portion in the case of a force acting on the force input element which is greater than or equal to a predetermined release force.

A brake-actuating device for a vehicle brake system comprises a fluid reservoir and a master cylinder arrangement. The fluid reservoir has an outlet connection, and the master cylinder arrangement has an inlet connection. The outlet connection of the fluid reservoir and the inlet connection of the master cylinder arrangement, in the connected-together state, define at least one axially overlapping connection region through which a fluid channel for the feed of fluid from the fluid reservoir into the master cylinder arrangement extends. Furthermore, the brake-actuating device comprises a sealing element, which is arranged in the connection region and seals off the latter to the outside, and a filter element for filtering the fluid to be fed to the master cylinder arrangement. The sealing element holds the filter element in a predetermined position in the fluid channel.

The invention relates to a modular leakage protection device for a fluid container of a vehicle brake system. The modular leakage protection device comprises a housing which attaches the modular leakage protection device to a fluid discharge opening of the fluid container. The modular leak protection device further includes a switching element, which can be moved between an open position, in which a fluid passage in the housing is released, and a closed position, in which the fluid passage is closed. The switching element is preloaded into the closed position by means of at least one to preloading means.
