Motor vehicle accelerator pedal arrangement for generation of an electrical signal for engine control, has an inductive linear sensor arrangement for detecting pedal movement and generation of a corresponding output signal

摘要

Motor vehicle accelerator pedal arrangement (1) has a pedal (5), pedal arm (4) and a housing (2, 3) on which the arm is mounted so that it pivots around an axle. A linear sensor has a sensor (13) and coupling element (9) with the sensor connected to the housing and the coupling element attached to the pedal arm. The sensor and coupling element are arranged on the opposite side of the pivot axle to the pedal. The linear sensor is an inductive sensor.
