ABSTRACT:
A master cylinder includes a cylinder body and primary and secondary pistons slidably received in the cylinder body, thereby defining first and second pressure chambers in the cylinder body. The first and second pressure chambers communicate with a reservoir through first and second fluid passages, respectively. During automatic brake control such as traction control or vehicle stability control, hydraulic fluid is drawn from the reservoir through the first and second pressure chambers. A throttle valve is received in each of the first and second fluid passages. The throttle valves are adapted to open while the master cylinder is inoperative and to close under backflow pressure when hydraulic fluid flows from the pressure chambers toward the reservoir. The throttle valves each include a floating valve body and a valve seat. The valve seat has its radially outer portion liquid-tightly joined and fixed to the cylinder body so that the fixed position of the valve seat and the lowermost position of the floating valve body are determined by the cylinder body.
