Abstract: A brake pedal module for a “brake-by-wire” brake system of a vehicle is disclosed. The brake pedal module has a pivotably mounted brake pedal and a damping unit. The damping unit is mechanically coupled to the brake pedal in order to generate a resistance when the brake pedal is actuated. The damping unit comprises a housing and a piston mounted in the housing in such a way that it can be moved from an initial position into an end position. In its initial position, the piston is supported on a base of the housing via at least two elastic elements arranged in series. A further elastic element is arranged parallel to the at least two elastic elements on the base of the housing. The further elastic element is not subject to any load in an initial position of the piston.

Abstract: A connection for delivering fluid to a brake system housing having a cavity includes a fluid reservoir having a port extending along a centerline and configured to be received in the cavity. A collar extends around the port. A grommet extends around the port and is received in the cavity for forming a fluid-tight seal between the port and the brake system housing. The grommet includes a flange extending radially to an outermost surface positioned radially inside the collar.

Abstract: A brake pedal module for a “brake-by-wire” brake system of a vehicle is disclosed. The brake pedal module has a carrier component for securing the brake pedal module on the vehicle, a brake pedal, which is mounted pivotably on the carrier component, and a damping unit, which is mechanically coupled at one end to the brake pedal and at the other end to the carrier component in order to produce a resistance when the brake pedal is actuated. The brake pedal module is a pre-assembled structural unit which is self-contained in terms of forces.

Abstract: A brake pedal module for a brake-by-wire brake system of a vehicle is disclosed. The brake pedal module includes a pivotably mounted brake pedal and a damping unit. The damping unit is mechanically coupled to the brake pedal to generate a resistance when the brake pedal is actuated. The brake pedal module comprises a sensor unit for detecting a braking intention of a driver. The sensor unit comprises at least one sensor for detecting an actuating travel, which is arranged on a pivot bearing of the brake pedal, and at least one further sensor for detecting an actuating force, which is arranged on a rear side of the brake pedal when considered in a plan view of an actuating surface of the brake pedal.

Abstract: A brake pedal module for a brake-by-wire brake system of a vehicle is disclosed, having a carrier component for securing the brake pedal module on the vehicle, a brake pedal pivotably mounted on the carrier component, and a damping unit for producing a resistance during actuation of the brake pedal. The damping unit has an insert, which comprises at least one elastic element. A receptacle for the insert is formed on the carrier component, which receptacle forms a housing of the damping unit and into which the insert is inserted.
