Main cylinder system for a motor vehicle braking facility has a main cylinder with a brake piston moving on-axis, a magnetic area on the brake piston and a sensor device to detect a magnetic field

摘要

Movement in a brake piston (18,20) within a main cylinder (MC) (12) is limited by a ferromagnetic stop element (FSE) (52) in the MC. The FSE works together with a magnetic area (53) for transmitting a magnetic field to a sensor device (62), which emits a signal to identify a relative position between the FSE and the magnetic area.
