Abstract
In order to make the idle stroke which occurs as small as possible in a master cylinder, in particular for a clutch, actuating or brake system of a vehicle, comprising a cylinder housing with a piston bore, a piston arranged in the piston bore and having an end side facing a cylinder chamber and at least one afterflow opening which leads from a piston skirt surface through a piston wall to the cylinder chamber at a distance from the end side and adjoins an afterflow space in a pressure equalization position of the piston so that in the pressure equalization position hydraulic medium can run on into the cylinder chamber in order to equalize the pressure, and an inner sealing element which is arranged between the housing and the piston in the area of the piston bore and limits the cylinder chamber, it is suggested that the afterflow space be arranged between the sealing element and the piston skirt surface on a side of a sealing lip of the sealing element facing away from the cylinder chamber and that in the pressure equalization position the afterflow opening be arranged so as to be located opposite an inner surface of the sealing element limiting the afterflow space.
