Abstract

An actuating unit for a hydraulic brake system for automotive vehicles includes a vacuum brake power booster and a master brake cylinder. To transmit the reaction forces, developing during actuation in the master brake cylinder, to a vehicle body wall which carries the actuating unit, a centrally positioned force-transmitting element is provided, which is arranged between the master brake cylinder and the vehicle body wall in terms of effect. The force-transmitting element is formed of a continuous bolt which extends in an axial direction through the control housing of the vacuum brake power booster.
