BRAKE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES

A brake system for vehicles, in particular for motor vehicles, has electrically controlled hydraulic final control elements, integrated in a hydraulic block; a pressure sensor with a plurality of pressure measuring elements for measuring the hydraulic pressure controlled by the individual final control elements; and a control circuit for controlling the final control elements. For the sake of simple and secure mounting of the hydraulic block, pressure sensor and control circuit, the control circuit and pressure sensor are accommodated in a common housing of an add-on electronic control unit (ECU), from whose underside the pressure measuring elements protrude with smaller-diameter plug-in tubes. When the add-on ECU and hydraulic block are installed, and that the housing is mounted on the hydraulic block and solidly joined to it by insertion of the plug-in tubes into the fluid conduits, present in the hydraulic block, in a fluid-tight manner.
