Braking force generator for a hydraulic braking system for a vehicle

The brake force generator (12) for a hydraulic brake system (10) has a force input component (30) coupled to the brake pedal (26), a pedal counter force simulation unit (100), a pedal operation sensing device (116), and a brake force generating unit. The pedal counter force simulation unit is coupled to the force input component by a hydraulic system which in the hydraulic connection to the pedal counter force simulation unit has a throttle valve (88) which can be selectively switched to different throttling positions.
