A hydraulic brake system includes a brake actuating element, a simulation device with a detector for detecting brake actuation by a driver. No mechanical and/or hydraulic operative connection between the brake actuating element and the wheel brakes is provided. A pressure medium reservoir, an electrically controllable pressure source for actuating the wheel brakes can be connected to each of the wheel brakes, electrically actuable wheel valves assigned to the wheel brakes for setting wheel brake pressures, and at least one electronic control and regulating unit for actuating the pressure source and wheel valves. The pressure source includes at least one piston which is sealed in a housing by a first sealing element and a second sealing element. In the case of a leak of the first sealing element, a pressure build-up is carried out at the wheel brakes by the pressure source with use of the second sealing element.

A gear pump apparatus includes a gear pump and a sealing mechanism which includes an annular rubber member, an outer member, and an inner member. One of the outer member and a casing of the gear pump apparatus has a contact member located outside a portion of the outer member which contacts the gear pump in a radial direction of the gear pump. The contact member is placed to create a physical contact between the outer member and the casing to absorb a part of force by which the outer member is pressed against the gear pump. This results in a decrease in pressure acting on an area of contact between the outer member and the gear pump, which leads to a drop in resistance to sliding between the gear pump and the outer member, thus decreasing a loss of torque required for the pumping operation of the gear pump.

Provided is a brake apparatus having a detachable pump housing. The brake apparatus having a detachable pump housing includes a master cylinder that receives an operating force of a pedal, a main housing in which the master cylinder is accommodated and a through-hole is formed at one side thereof, a motor that provides a driving force, a pump piston that is accommodated in the main housing, and moves in and out of the main housing through the through-hole by receiving the driving force from the motor, a gear unit that converts the driving force of the motor into a linear motion and transmits the linear motion to the pump piston, and a pump housing in which the pump piston is accommodated and an opening is formed at one side thereof, and that is detachably fastened to the main housing such that the opening communicates with the through-hole.

A vehicle braking device includes: a brake fluid pressure generation device arranged in a storage chamber separated from a vehicle cabin; and a brake operation part mechanically connected to the brake fluid pressure generation device, the brake operation part being not provided in the vehicle cabin. The brake fluid pressure generation device includes a cylinder and pistons configured to slide inside the cylinder. The brake fluid pressure generation device is configured to generate brake fluid pressure in accordance with strokes of the pistons. The brake fluid pressure generation device is arranged such that a sliding direction of the pistons is along a direction different from the vehicle front-rear direction in a plan view.

A guide ring for a pump element of a hydraulic unit of a vehicle brake system is configured to guide a pump piston in a pump housing when the pump piston is displaced along the axis thereof in the pump housing. On the inner side of the guide ring facing the pump piston, the guide ring includes a first step that has a first inner diameter and a second inner diameter.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it provides a method of manufacturing a piston of a pump for brake system, the piston fabricated using a piercing process by press forming to have an inlet path communicating with a suction port through which oil is introduced.

The invention relates to an actuating system for a vehicle brake, with an actuating arrangement, in particular a brake pedal, at least one (first) piston-cylinder unit, which is connected via a hydraulic line to the vehicle brake (braking circuit) in order to supply the braking circuit with pressure medium and apply pressure to the vehicle brake, and with a drive for the piston-cylinder unit. According to the invention, pressure medium can be fed to the braking circuit in controlled manner in both piston movement directions, in particular the advance stroke and the return stroke, by means of at least one, in particular stepped, piston (10) of the piston-cylinder unit (10, 10a, 10b).

A guide ring for a piston pump of a vehicle brake system includes a body and a seal. The body is configured to movably support a piston of the piston pump in a cylinder liner. The seal is held on the guide ring and configured to inhibit passage of air between the piston and the guide ring during movement of the piston.

A pump includes: a housing in which a pump chamber accommodating an inner rotor and an outer rotor is formed in a pump chamber formation surface, and an O-ring groove is formed around the pump chamber; an O-ring that is placed in the O-ring groove; and a plate that is attached to the pump chamber formation surface and closely contacts the O-ring to close the pump chamber. Inter-hole grooves connecting to an outer edge of the pump chamber formation surface are formed around the O-ring groove.

An arrangement for throttling a fluid flow includes a throttle element arranged so as to influence a flow cross section in a fluid duct. The throttle element has a resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body which is arranged with a top side and a bottom side between at least two supports in the fluid duct. The body is arranged in such a way that the flow cross section can be variably adjusted as a function of a pressure difference between the top side and the bottom side of the resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body. At least one support bears against the top side of the resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body, and at least one support bears against the bottom side of the resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body.
