Pedal Force Sensor

Pedal Force Sensor

The pedal force sensor is designed to measure load applied to the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal. This is particularly useful when carrying out brake tests such as SAE J2909 or ECE regulation 13-H (Braking Assist Systems) as well as measuring other acceleration, deceleration or transmission shift events.

Thanks to its low-profile design, large contact area and universal mounting bracket, the sensor is easy to install and remove. A high overload protection (150% of FS) also prevents damage in the event of an emergency stop.

Other key features include an anti-slip spherical loading surface to minimize the effects of off-axis loading, very stable temperature compensation and brake pedal trigger compatibility.
