Brake cylinder mechanical stopper

A brake system configured to provide braking signaling to an automotive simulator, the brake system comprising:

• a base;
• a brake pedal pivotably connected to the base;
• and
• a brake cylinder pivotably connected to the brake pedal, the brake cylinder including:
• a brake cylinder housing including (i) a master cylinder chamber, (ii) a slave cylinder chamber, and (iii) a wall disposed between the master cylinder chamber and the slave cylinder chamber, the wall defining at least one opening configured to provide fluid communication between the master cylinder chamber and the slave cylinder chamber;
• a master piston at least partially disposed within the master cylinder chamber, the master piston configured to pressurize fluid in the master cylinder chamber when the brake pedal is depressed;
• a slave piston at least partially disposed within the slave cylinder chamber;
• a pressure sensor disposed in fluid communication with the slave cylinder chamber, the pressure sensor configured to measure pressure in the slave cylinder chamber and send a signal to a processor indicating of movement of the brake pedal;
• a dampener housing positioned coaxially adjacent to the slave cylinder chamber, a slave piston rod at least partially disposed within the dampener housing;
• and
• a dampener disposed within the dampener housing;
• wherein the slave piston rod includes a block configured to limit axial movement of the slave piston from a first slave position to a second slave position via contact with the dampener housing;
• and
• wherein, when pressurizing fluid in the master cylinder chamber, the master piston is configured to drive fluid from the master cylinder chamber to the slave cylinder chamber via the at least one opening to increase pressure in the slave cylinder chamber.
