Abstract
A system in which the device connecting the brake pedal to the brake actuator includes a control rod and a thrust rod guided in a cylinder, connected to the rod by a ball joint and returned by a spring. The end of the rod comprises a spherical cap having a spherical front bearing surface and a flat rear surface, perpendicular to the axis of the rod. A centering sleeve freely surrounding the control rod presses with its front edge against the rear face of the cap, pushed by a centering spring bearing on the thrust rod and on the centering sleeve to tilt the spherical cap and the rod toward the axis of the thrust rod.
