Abstract
Disclosed is a brake actuation unit for actuating a 'brake-by-wire' type brake system for a motor vehicle. The brake system includes a brake booster operable via a brake pedal mounted on a shaft and via an electronic control unit depending on the driver's request, and an element to decouple a force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the brake booster in the 'brake-by-wire' operating mode. Also included are a device to detect a deceleration request of the driver, and a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal and is formed of a simulator spring, which is arranged in terms of effect between a force-transmitting part connected to the brake pedal and a simulator housing, which is mounted on the shaft by means of two bearings. The simulator housing () includes a cylindrical area () for the accommodation of the two bearings (). This measure renders it possible to reduce the deformations that occur during actuation of the pedal travel simulator to a great extent.
