ABSTRACT:
A simulator piston is slidably fitted in a control piston to form a stroke liquid chamber between itself and an end wall of a control piston. A port which is closed at a forward limit of the control piston with respect to a backup piston is provided in the end wall of the control piston. A first reaction piston which constantly abuts against the end wall of the control piston and a second reaction piston which abuts against the end wall of the control piston when the control piston advances toward the backup piston through a predetermined travel distance or more, are relatively slidably mounted on the backup piston so that hydraulic pressure of the boosted hydraulic pressure chamber acts on their front ends. Thus, it is possible to curb increase in a stroke and reaction of a brake operating member which would be invalidated by a brake stroke simulator when a hydraulic power source fails, and avoid insufficient strokes of the brake operating member even if spikes are inputted.
