Abstract
Description
Background technique
[0001] Devices for monitoring the position and movement of a brake pedal are known in principle.
[0002] A pedal-operable master cylinder is known from WO 02 / 43996 A1, said master cylinder being provided with an integrated position detector so that the position of a first movable piston located inside the cylinder housing can be monitored , so that it can be used in a controlled braking system of a motor vehicle, wherein the piston has a magnet as a signal generator, which emits a magnetic field in the direction of a sensor element, which is fixedly arranged in the housing physically.
[0003] Such a sensor arrangement is designed for a driver-initiated braking process during normal operation, during which the piston to be monitored travels through a defined actuation path. The magnet is acted upon by a spring element which is supported at the ends on the housing bottom and is thus supported on a stationary component relative to the pressure rod piston....
