This application is applicable to intelligent automobiles, new energy automobiles, conventional automobiles, or the like. In embodiments of this application, a fluid outlet pipe of a first hydraulic chamber 16 is configured in segments on a push rod support portion 14 and a push rod 13. In this way, when a piston 12 is located at an inner stop point of a piston stroke, a first hydraulic adjustment port 14a located on the push rod support portion 14 communicates with a second hydraulic adjustment port 13a located on the push rod 13, and when the piston 12 is located at a position other than the inner stop point in the piston stroke, the first hydraulic adjustment port 14a does not communicate with the second hydraulic adjustment port 13a.

A brake cylinder configured to provide braking signaling to an automotive simulator, the brake cylinder includes a damper housing, a resilient damper arranged within the damper housing and a piston configured to move a block in the axial direction at least partially into the damper housing towards said resilient damper. The block comprises a mechanical stop configured to limit the axial movement of the piston in the axial direction. The brake cylinder further has a sensor configured to measure a response to movement of said piston and send a signal to a processor indicative of that movement. The brake cylinder is configured to be connected to a brake pedal. The mechanical stop divides the braking process into two phases a first phase where the pedal can be depressed and a second phase where the pedal cannot be pressed further due to the mechanical stop. In one variant the brake cylinder is a purely mechanical system with only the damper housing or in combination with a single cylinder chamber. Alternatively, the described cylinder chamber is a slave chamber for use in a hydraulic brake cylinder also including a master chamber in fluid connection with the slave chamber via a channel.

A brake cylinder for use with an automotive simulator includes a brake cylinder housing having a master chamber, a slave chamber, a wall disposed therebetween and at least one channel configured to provide fluid communication between the master chamber and the slave chamber. In some variants, the at least one channel may be an opening configured to provide fluid communication between the master chamber and the slave chamber, in another variant the channel may be an external channel such as a tube. The brake cylinder also includes a master piston configured to pressurize fluid in the master chamber when a brake pedal is pressed. The brake cylinder further includes a slave piston and a pressure sensor disposed in fluid communication with the brake cylinder. The pressure sensor is configured to measure pressure in the chambers and send a signal to a processor indicative of movement of the brake pedal. When pressurizing fluid in the master chamber, the master piston is configured to drive fluid from the master chamber to the slave chamber via the at least one channel to increase pressure in the slave chamber.

A system comprises a slave cylinder for a motorcycle. The slave cylinder may include a rod with a height which is hydraulically adjustable by a hydraulic pressure adjuster. A motorcycle slave cylinder is also provided which includes a rod having a height. The motorcycle slave cylinder also includes a hydraulic pressure adjuster. The hydraulic pressure adjuster hydraulically adjusts the height of the rod above the motorcycle slave cylinder.

A stoke simulator operable by an operation of a brake operation member that is operated by a driver, including: a housing: a movable member held by the housing so as to be movable relative to the housing, the movable member being connected to the brake operation member; a volume change chamber disposed forward of the movable member in the housing; and a plurality of elastic members disposed in the volume change chamber and capable of generating an elastic force in accordance with a movement of the movable member, at least one of the plurality of elastic members being a rubber-like member.

A mounting assembly for fixing a component of a vehicle brake system to a vehicle structure. The mounting assembly includes a mounting portion of the vehicle structure having a through hole, a mounting element of the vehicle brake system having a through hole, and a bolt extending through both through holes. Furthermore, a nut engages the bolt such that the mounting portion is attached to the mounting element via the bolt and the nut. Additionally, an elastic bushing is provided having a first bushing collar which extends from a bushing body in a radial direction. The first bushing collar further extends on a first axial side of the corresponding mounting portion or mounting element. Furthermore, a vehicle is presented which includes such a mounting assembly and a vehicle brake system. A component of the vehicle brake system is fixed to a structure of the vehicle via the mounting assembly.
