Abstract

See full text

A master brake cylinder arrangement includes at least one piston arrangement with a piston movably guided in a receiving bore in a master brake cylinder housing. The piston, together with the receiving bore, delimits a pressure chamber which is in fluid connection with a hydraulic brake circuit and may be moved along a movement axis between an initial position and an actuation position. A position detecting device detects movement of the piston caused by actuation is provided within the receiving bore. The position detecting device has a sensor element, which is movable as a function of a piston movement, and a position detecting sensor, which is arranged fixed on the master brake cylinder housing. The sensor element is received and guided in the master brake cylinder housing independently of the piston and is capable of interacting with the piston for deflection as a function of the piston movement.
