The accelerator pedal sensor assembly combines the familiar accelerator pedal with a dual output sensor for a drive by wire application. The throttle cable is replaced by a pedal position sensor to continuously measure driver input. Intermotor® Accelerator Pedal Sensors undergo testing of output voltage versus pedal position, where the slope and linearity of the two separate outputs are accurately checked to ensure correct operation on the vehicle.
Several polymers are used in the construction of the assembly to provide the best combination of strength and support for the spring guide components
High strength nylon provides the best solution to pedal support and spring guide components
The multi-finger wiper design accurately controls sensor contact to within a few grams of force
Dual return springs provide redundancy and a comfortable, familiar pedal force profile
Pedal sensor assemblies are 100% tested for output versus pedal position. The slope and linearity of the two separate outputs are accurately checked to ensure correct operation on the vehicle
High impact ABS plastic provides the best solution to pedal support and spring guide components
