Braking system for motor vehicles

A braking system for motor vehicles, comprising

• a brake pedal,
• a travel simulator which is coupled via a first mechanical connecting means to the brake pedal for transmitting actuating forces,
• a brake master cylinder having a pressure chamber and a master cylinder piston, the pressure chamber being connected or connectable via a pressure line to at least one hydraulically actuatable wheel brake, and
• an electrically controllable electromechanical drive device and a second mechanical connecting means for actuating the piston of the master cylinder, the electromechanical drive device arranged with the brake pedal on one side and with the brake master cylinder and the travel simulator on the other side, the first mechanical connecting means extending from the brake pedal to the travel simulator;
• wherein the travel simulator includes a simulator piston and a simulator cylinder, the simulator piston is connected to the first mechanical connecting means, the simulator piston and the simulator cylinder delimiting a hydraulic chamber;
• and
• wherein the hydraulic chamber is connected via a nonreturn valve to the brake master cylinder which is connected to the at least one wheel brake.
