Abstract
An electronically controllable brake actuating system for automotive vehicles includes a master brake cylinder operable by an actuating pedal and having at least one piston, at least one braking pressure generator actuatable by an electronic control unit, to which braking pressure generator wheel brakes of the vehicle are directly connected and which is connectable to the master brake cylinder by hydraulic connections closable by valve assemblies, at least one sensor device to identify the driver's wish for deceleration, and a simulator chamber which interacts with the master brake cylinder. The reliability of the system may be improved by providing a simulator chamber that is connected to a hydraulic chamber and which is bounded in the master brake cylinder by a second piston, by way of a closable connection.
