  • Patent number: 12103507
    Abstract: A piston of a hydraulic power unit of a hydraulic power vehicle braking system including slip control is guided directly, without a cylinder liner, in a cylinder bore of a hydraulic block. The piston is rotatably fixedly and axially displaceably held in a bushing with the aid of an anti-rotation mechanism, which in turn is rotatably fixed at the hydraulic block.

  • Patent number: 12024141
    Abstract: A pump assembly for generating pressure in a brake circuit of a controllable power brake system of a motor vehicle. The pump assembly has, as a pressure generator, a piston-cylinder unit in which a piston is actuated with the aid of a piston drive. The piston drive converts a rotational movement, with which a nut of this piston drive is driven, into a translatory movement of a spindle, which is in turn connected to the piston in a rotationally fixed manner. The piston is a steel component in which a plastic deformation at a piston head forms a device for connecting the spindle to the piston in a rotationally fixed manner.

  • Publication number: 20240182012
    Abstract: An electronically slip-controllable power brake system, The system includes pressure-medium-actuable wheel brakes on a first axle and electromechanically actuable wheel brakes on a second axle of a motor vehicle. A hydraulic unit is provided having a brake master cylinder for specifying a braking request by the driver, a simulator coupled thereto for providing haptic feedback to the driver, a first electronic controller for electrically activating a drive motor of a brake pressure generator using external energy, and a pressure modulator for adjusting one wheel-specific wheel brake pressure per pressure-medium-actuable wheel brake. A controllable first pressure medium connection is provided between the brake master cylinder and the simulator and a controllable second pressure medium connection is provided between the brake master cylinder and one of the pressure-medium-actuated wheel brakes.

  • Publication number: 20240166180
    Abstract: In the field of autonomous driving, a power braking system having two piston-cylinder units, one of which electromechanically generates a hydraulic brake pressure by means of an electric motor and the other of which communicates with the former in such a way that under pressure it generates a brake pressure in a second brake circuit. The second piston-cylinder unit hydraulically separates two brake circuits from each other.
