Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a master brake cylinder arrangement with actuation detection for a motor vehicle braking system, having at least one piston arrangement with a piston, which is movably guided in a cylinder bore in a cylinder housing, said piston with the cylinder bore defining a pressure chamber which is fluidically coupled to a hydraulic brake circuit. During a forward stroke, the piston can be moved from a start position into a possible actuation piston along a movement axis, which coincides essentially with a longitudinal axis of the cylinder bore, and during a return stroke, said piston is moved from an actuation position into a start position. The piston is associated with a coupling element which is coupled to a position detecting rod for common movement therewith, said position detecting rod being moved essentially parallel to the first cylinder bore, the position of the position detecting rod can be detected by means of a position detecting sensor placed on the cylinder housing. According to the invention, in order to save space, the coupling element can be locked relative to the piston for a common lift movement therewith and after exceeding a predetermined path of the lift movement, the piston can be moved further relative to the coupling element.
