A brake system for motor vehicles of "brake-by-wire" type, in particular without a brake booster, having a hydraulic activation device (2) which can be activated by means of a brake pedal (19) and to which wheel brakes (6, 7, 8, 9) are connected, and a simulation device (3) which can be activated hydraulically and has at least one elastic element (33) which gives the driver of the vehicle a pleasant pedal sensation is intended to have a functional capability which can be checked during the normal braking function and to give the driver a pedal sensation which is familiar from a conventional hydraulic brake system. For this purpose, the activation device (2) is connected, or can be connected, via a hydraulic connection (4) to the simulation device (3), wherein the hydraulic connection (4) is connected via an electrically controllable check valve (5) to a pressure medium reservoir (10) which is, in particular, at atmospheric pressure. |
