A master cylinder apparatus includes: an input piston that can be moved forward by operating a brake operating member; a pressure piston that is provided in front of the input piston to be capable of moving relative to the input piston; and a stroke velocity ratio modification device that is capable of modifying a stroke velocity ratio, which is a ratio between a stroke velocity of the pressure piston and a stroke velocity of the input piston, in at least two stages while the input piston moves from a rear end portion position to a front end portion position, and that sets the stroke velocity ratio at 1 when an abnormality occursin the master cylinder apparatus.

A brake master cylinder arrangement includes a housing with a cylindrical recess, a pressure piston moveable in the cylindrical recess along a longitudinal axis and guided in a sealing manner, and a reservoir for storing brake fluid that is fluidically connected via a fluid channel to the housing. The pressure piston and the housing enclose a pressure chamber that is connected to a fluid circuit of the brake system. Depending on the position of the associated pressure piston, the pressure chamber is either fluidically connected to the fluid reservoir or disconnected therefrom. In a region that axially spans the sealing arrangement in a starting position of the pressure piston, the outer circumferential surface of the pressure piston has profiling that provides a fluidic connection between the fluid reservoir and the pressure chamber.
