Abstract
An electronically controllable braking system for ground vehicles, comprising a cylinder/piston arrangement (6) which is able to introduce friction forces (F.sub.akt) into a friction element (8) which is coupled with a vehicle wheel by subjecting a hydraulic chamber (4) of the cylinder/piston arrangement (6) with hydraulic fluid, is developed further in that an electrically actuatable displacement element (12) projects into the hydraulic chamber (4) of the cylinder/piston arrangement (6) which is actuatable as a function of control signals from an electronic controller (22) for increasing or decreasing the pressure acting on the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic chamber (4) in order to increase or decrease, respectively, the friction forces (F.sub.akt) which, during a braking operation, are introduced into the friction element (8).
