Abstract
A brake system including an intensifying arrangement which allows a master cylinder pressure to be intensified by feeding a discharge pressure from a pump to an intensifying chamber. The brake system includes a master cylinder having a primary piston, on the rear portion of which a sleeve is fitted, with a spool valve slidably fitted into the sleeve. The spool valve has a rear end which abuts against the bottom of a bottomed opening formed in an input shaft. The invention allows a misalignment between the axes of the primary piston and the input shaft.
