Zusammenfassung:A brake actuator unit for actuating a motor vehicle braking system of the "brake-by-wire" type, having a brake booster which can be actuated by a brake pedal and by an electronic control unit as a function of a driver's request and has a piston rod, a master brake cylinder arranged downstream of the brake booster, and a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal and is arranged in parallel with the piston rod and by which, in the "brake-by-wire" mode, a restoring force acting on the brake pedal can be simulated independently of actuation of the brake booster. In order to decouple a force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the brake booster in the "brake-by-wire" mode, a distance 'a' is provided between the brake pedal and a component arranged downstream in the force flux and assigned to the brake booster.
