The present invention relates to a dry braking feel simulator (1) comprising a cylinder (3) defining a simulator chamber ( 3 ); wherein the simulator chamber (3) is hydraulically isolated, for example the cylinder (3) has no openings or connection routes configured to connect fluidly the simulator chamber (3) to another component; a float or
piston (4) movably housed in the simulator chamber (3) between a
rest position (XO) and a
stroke end position (Xm) along an axial direction (X-X), the
piston (4) being adapted to be connected to a lever (5) operable by a user, such as a
brake pedal, for example, a reaction
assembly (6) configured to elastically oppose an advancement of the
piston (4) from the
rest position (XO) towards the
stroke end position (Xm), the reaction
assembly (6) being configured to dampen the advancement of the piston (4), wherein, under an external thrust force, for example by the user, the piston (4) is configured to advance towards the
stroke end position (Xm) in opposition to a reaction force generated by the reaction
assembly (6); wherein when the thrust action ceases, the reaction assembly (6) is configured to bias the piston (4) towards the
rest position (XO); wherein the reaction assembly (6) is housed in the simulator chamber (3) and is interposed between a cylinder portion (7) and the piston ( 4 ); at least one sensor (8) configured to detect, either directly or indirectly, a current position (X) of the piston (4) between the rest position (XO) and the stroke end position (Xm); wherein the reaction assembly (6) comprises at least one elastomeric spring (9), avoiding the inclusion of porous elastomeric damping elements and / or compression springs in series with the elastomeric spring (9), wherein the elastomeric spring (9) is configured to generate the reaction force on the piston (4) for any advancement of the piston (4) between the rest position (XO) and the stroke end position (Xm), damping the advancement of the piston (4) and, when the thrust force ceases, elastically biasing the piston (4) towards the rest position (XO).
