Abstract: The invention relates to a pedal travel simulator for the hydraulic connection to a pressure chamber of a master brake cylinder of a hydraulic brake system, in particular for motor vehicles, having a housing and a simulator piston that is diplaceably mounted in the housing, wherein the simulator piston delimits a first hydraulic simulator chamber together with the housing, which simulator chamber can accommodate pressurizing media. Wherein an elastic restoring means acts on the simulator piston, wherein the pedal travel simulator includes a second hydraulic simulator chamber for accommodating pressurizing media, the simulator chamber being delimited by an elastically deformable membrane. The invention further relates to an actuating unit for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system of the brake-by-wire type, and to a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system.
