Abstract

When brake fluid of a first wheel cylinder (39a) of a slave cylinder (23) is increased by supplying the brake fluid to a first wheel cylinder (16, 17) by a first pump (64A), a second piston (38B), which is a free piston, of the slave cylinder (23) moves toward the first fluid pressure chamber (39A) side, the volume of a second fluid pressure chamber (39B) thereby expands, and the brake fluid pressure of a second wheel cylinder (20, 21) can be reduced, whereas when brake fluid pressure of the second fluid pressure chamber (39B) is increased by supplying the brake fluid to the second wheel cylinder (20, 21) by a second pump (64B), the second piston (38B) moves toward the second fluid pressure chamber (39B) side, the volume of the first fluid pressure chamber (39A) thereby expands, and the brake fluid pressure of the first wheel cylinder (16, 17) can be reduced, thus enabling a difference in brake fluid pressure to be freely generated between the first and second wheel cylinders (16, 17).
