Abstract: A pedal brake assembly comprises a master cylinder block defining a bore extending along a center axis. At least one brake piston is slidably disposed in the bore. A push rod, having a body portion and an end portion, extends between a first end and a second end. The second end is coupled to a brake pedal. A housing defines a channel for receiving the push rod. An actuator couples to the at least one brake piston. The body portion is slidably disposed in the channel. The end portion is in an abutment relationship with the housing and defines a hole extending from the first end to the body portion. A plunger is slidably disposed in the end portion for engaging the at least one brake piston whereby the push rod and the actuator are independently movable along the center axis.

Abstract: A pressure supply unit for a brake system including a booster body that defines an axially extending cylinder. A piston is slideable within the cylinder. The piston defines a bore that receives a spindle. The spindle is rotationally fixed and axially moveable for providing the axial movement of the piston. A motor is positioned about the spindle and is configured to axially translate the spindle and piston. A ball and socket joint connects the piston and spindle while accommodating pivoting movement of the spindle. The ball and socket joint includes a ball at a front end of the spindle and a socket in the bore of the piston which receives the ball.
