A brake cylinder configured to provide braking signalling to an automotive simulator, the brake cylinder comprising: a brake cylinder housing including (i) a master cylinder chamber, (ii) a slave cylinder chamber, (iii) a chamber dividing wall separating the master cylinder chamber and the slave cylinder chamber, (iv) at least one channel 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 a brake pedal is depressed; a slave piston comprising a slave cylinder rod at least partially disposed within the slave cylinder chamber; and a pressure sensor disposed in fluid communication with the brake cylinder, the pressure sensor configured to measure pressure inside the chambers of the brake cylinder and send a signal to a processor of the automotive simulator indicating of movement of the brake pedal; 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 channel to increase pressure in the slave cylinder chamber, characterised by a dampener housing positioned coaxially adjacent to said slave cylinder chamber, said slave cylinder rod at least partially disposed within said dampener housing; and a dampener disposed within the dampener housing wherein movement of the slave piston from the first slave position to the second slave position compresses the dampener and movement of the slave piston from the second slave position to the first slave position decompresses the dampener. a brake cylinder housing including (i) a master cylinder chamber, (ii) a slave cylinder chamber, (iii) a chamber dividing wall separating the master cylinder chamber and the slave cylinder chamber, (iv) at least one channel 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 a brake pedal is depressed; a slave piston comprising a slave cylinder rod at least partially disposed within the slave cylinder chamber; and a pressure sensor disposed in fluid communication with the brake cylinder, the pressure sensor configured to measure pressure inside the chambers of the brake cylinder and send a signal to a processor of the automotive simulator indicating of movement of the brake pedal; 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 channel to increase pressure in the slave cylinder chamber, characterised by a dampener housing positioned coaxially adjacent to said slave cylinder chamber, said slave cylinder rod at least partially disposed within said dampener housing; and a dampener disposed within the dampener housing wherein movement of the slave piston from the first slave position to the second slave position compresses the dampener and movement of the slave piston from the second slave position to the first slave position decompresses the dampener.
