Claim 0:
1. A brake cylinder configured to provide brake signaling to an automotive simulator, the brake cylinder comprising:
a piston connected to a brake pedal configured to move in an axial direction when said brake pedal is being depressed;
a damper that provides resistance to the piston when the piston moves in an axial direction toward said damper;
at least one sensor configured to measure a response to movement of said piston and send a signal to a processor of the automotive simulator indicative of that movement;
wherein said piston comprises a mechanical stop configured to limit said axial movement of the piston in the axial direction, wherein when said brake pedal is being depressed the piston and the mechanical stop moves in the axial direction resulting in compression of the damper until the mechanical stop has engaged a stopping structure.
