Abstract: A brake actuating device for automotive vehicles comprises a hydraulic brake force booster and a hydraulic tandem master cylinder to which pressure is applied by the brake force booster and which is in communication with the hydraulic wheel brake circuits. The hydraulic piston of the brake force booster applies pressure to the primary master piston of the said hydraulic tandem master cylinder. Pressure is applied to the hydraulic piston of the hydraulic brake force booster from a hydraulic pressure source through a normally closed opening valve which, through a function electronic unit receiving by way of a control input in the form of a guide quantity, an input signal representative of the pedal travel is alternately opened and closed. Accordingly the hydraulic brake pressure build-up is effected in accordance with a predetermined function stored in the function electronic unit between pedal travel and brake pressure with no lost motion of the brake pedal.
