Zusammenfassung:A brake pedal feel emulator includes a piston that is movable against the force of a compressible elastomeric body and fluid force. The emulator supplies conventional pedal feel and travel characteristics when the primary and secondary pistons of the brake system's master cylinder are substantially movable due to isolation of the master cylinder from the wheel brakes. The fluid force is supplied by controlling the flow of fluid from behind the emulator piston through a flow restrictive orifice to a conventional fluid reservoir on the master cylinder assembly. The emulator is operable with electric or electro-hydraulically controlled braking system.
