    Abstract: A braking system for a vehicle may include a hydraulic brake pedal system having a master cylinder having at least one pressure chamber, from which a hydraulic output is coupled to at least one brake circuit via an infeed switch valve. The master cylinder is coupled to a reservoir via at least one opening via a hydraulic connection. A failure of a pressure chamber seal of the at least one pressure chamber of the master cylinder is safeguarded by at least one redundancy, and the failure of the pressure chamber seal or the redundancy of the pressure chamber seal of the at least one pressure chamber of the master cylinder can be diagnosed.

    Abstract: A diagnostic method, in particular to determine the leak tightness of at least one seal and/or one valve, for at least one component of a vehicle, wherein a piston cylinder unit, whose piston is driven by an electromotive drive, forms a pressure supply unit, wherein a control unit identifies the piston position and/or piston movement of the piston by means of at least one sensor and the pressure generated by the pressure supply unit or the motor current flowing through the drive by means of at least one sensor. During the diagnostic method, the control unit may be used to measure quantities relating to piston movement/position, pressure, and/or pressure variation.

    Abstract: A brake system may include: two hydraulic brake circuits, each having at least one wheel brake; a first pressure supply device for pressure build-up and release in at least one brake circuit via forward and return travel of a piston; a second pressure supply device with a continuous delivery, electromotively-driven piston pump, gear pump, or eccentric piston pump; at least one valve assembly with valves for adjusting pressure for each wheel brake and/or for connecting/disconnecting the wheel brakes and at least one of the pressure supply devices; at least one electronic control unit; a connection line connecting the two brake circuits; and at least one outlet valve for pressure release. The wheel brakes are paired with dedicated switch valves. Each brake circuit has a hydraulic main line to connect the switch valves to the first and second pressure supply devices, which provide different maximum pressures and/or delivery volumes.

    Abstract: A brake system may include an actuating device, in particular a brake pedal; a first piston-cylinder unit having two pistons subjecting the brake circuits to a pressure medium via a valve device, wherein one of the pistons can be actuated by the actuation device; a second piston-cylinder unit having an electric motor drive, a transmission at least one piston to supply at least one of the brake circuits with a pressure medium via a valve device; and a motor pump unit with a valve device to supply the brake circuits with a pressure medium. The brake system may also include a hydraulic travel simulator with a pressure or working chamber which is connected to the first piston-cylinder unit.
