  • Publication number: 20210018079
    Abstract: An electromechanically drivable brake pressure generator for a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle, having at least one threaded drive assemblage for converting an input-drive-side rotary motion into a translational motion, and a piston/cylinder unit, actuatable by the threaded drive assemblage, for hydraulic brake pressure generation. The assemblage encompasses: a spindle that has a spindle thread; and a spindle nut that has a spindle nut thread, the spindle nut being disposed on the spindle thread of the spindle so that as one of the two spindle elements rotates, the other, which is prevented from twisting using a twist preventer, is axially displaceable. The spindle nut has a spindle nut body and at least one anti-friction layer made of plastic, which is applied on the spindle nut body and has a more pronounced anti-friction property than the spindle nut body, that anti-friction layer being applied on the spindle nut thread.
