  • Publication number: 20160031424
    Abstract: A driver brake force simulator is provided for a braking system of a vehicle, including at least one spring, and a displaceable piston which delimits a pressure chamber formed in the driver brake force simulator and which is movable from its starting position, against an elastic force of the at least one spring, by a predefined maximum displacement travel in a first direction in such a way that a volume of the pressure chamber which is fillable with brake fluid is increasable. The driver brake force simulator includes at least multiple disk springs as the at least one spring. Moreover, a manufacturing method is provided for a driver brake force simulator for a braking system of a vehicle by supporting a displaceable piston of the driver brake force simulator with the aid of at least one spring. The displaceable piston is supported by at least multiple disk springs as the at least one spring.

  • Publication number: 20150314760
    Abstract: A hydraulic block for a hydraulic unit is configured to control the brake pressure in a slip-controlled vehicle brake system. Multiple pressure sensors are received in receptors that are defined by the hydraulic block and that are configured to place each of the pressure sensors in hydraulic contact with a respective brake circuit. The pressure sensors are configured to detect wheel brake pressures in the corresponding brake circuits. The hydraulic contact between the pressure sensors and the brake circuits is enabled by a common duct that includes a shut-off element configured to block a pressure medium connection between the brake circuits.

  • Patent number: 9151352
    Abstract: A device for vibration-damping mounting of a vehicle brake system fluid assembly in a receiving opening includes a stay bolt, an elastic damping element in the form of a sleeve through which the stay bolt passes, a clamping sleeve guided by the stay bolt, and a screw element having an internal thread. The stay bolt comprises a connecting pin and a threaded shank having an external thread onto which the screw element can be screwed in order to move the clamping sleeve axially on the stay bolt towards the elastic damping element. The clamping sleeve and the screw element are in the form of a one-piece clamping element having a bearing shoulder, wherein the axial force generated by the clamping element as a result of the screwing-on movement acts via the bearing shoulder on the elastic damping element. A fluid assembly includes at least one such device for vibration-damping mounting.
