A hydraulic unit, in particular for a controllable-slip vehicle brake system, includes a housing block, a pump, a first fluid duct, and a second fluid duct. The housing block defines a pump receptacle that receives the pump, which has a suction side and a pressure side. The first duct crosses the pump receptacle in a region of the pressure side of the pump. The second duct leads into the pump receptacle in the region of the pressure side. The first and second ducts are sealed off from each over via a separation point. The hydraulic unit is configured to enable contact with a damping device configured to damp pulsations and reduce operating noise of the hydraulic unit without negatively impacting functional properties of the hydraulic unit, in particular on pressure build-up dynamics of the vehicle brake system, or without jeopardizing a compact construction of the hydraulic unit.

A method for reducing pressure peaks in hydraulic brake systems comprises an electrically operated pressurization device. A drive resistance variable of the pressurization device is measured, for example the torque. A speed variable of the pressurization device is measured. A quotient of the drive resistance variable and the speed variable is calculated. The quotient is monitored for the occurrence of a jump and, in the case of a determined jump, a speed requirement of the pressurization device is reduced and/or a hydraulic valve for pressure dissipation is actuated.

A pulsation damper for damping pressure medium fluctuations in a hydraulic system, in particular in a motor vehicle brake system, including a plug with a sleeve-shaped extension and a hat-shaped elastomeric membrane which is at least partially inserted into the extension of the plug. The membrane includes a collar with an edge-side bead, wherein the collar of the membrane is pushed around an edge of the extension. The bead bears on the outer side against the extension, and the membrane is connected in a pressure-tight manner to the plug via a clamping sleeve acting on the outer side on the bead and on the extension; and a method for producing a pulsation damper.

A hydraulic pressure control unit according to the present invention is a hydraulic pressure control unit for a vehicular brake system and includes: a discharge channel (140), from which a brake fluid is discharged, a pressure of the brake fluid being increased by a pump (60); and a pulsation reducer (100) provided to an intermediate portion of the discharge channel (140). The pulsation reducer includes: a pressure change suppressor (110), a volume of which varies according to the pressure of the inflow brake fluid; and a throttle valve (120) arranged on a downstream side of the pressure change suppressor (110) in the discharge channel (140). The throttle valve (120) includes: a first housing (121) having an end surface (121a), one end of which is opened and the other end of which is provided with a first through-hole (121b), the brake fluid flowing into the first through-hole (121b); a first valve body (122) movable in an axial direction of the first housing (121) in the first housing (121); and a first spring member (124) urging the first valve body (122) in a direction toward the first through-hole (121b) of the first housing (121). The first valve body (122) includes a seal section (122b) that closes the first through-hole (121b) of the first housing (121) and is formed with a throttle hole (122ba).
