Electronic Foot Pedal

Over Center Rocker Type/Bi-directional

The rocker type Electronic Foot Pedal is used to drive off-highway vehicles equipped with hydrostatic transmissions and/or electronically controlled engines. The foot pedal typically provides speed commands to the electronic transmission or the engine controller, where the output signal of the foot pedal is proportional to the angle of the foot pedal actuation. The rocker type foot pedal is commonly used on vehicle applications that have a high duty cycle of direction changes (forward/neutral/reverse). For example: warehouse trucks, piggy-back fork trucks, and other material handling equipment.

The electronic foot pedal features a specially designed sensor for heavy equipment applications which uses Hall effect technology. This special sensor offers two different types of redundant signals to fit a variety of control strategies. In addition, the redundant sensors have independent isolated circuits and protection against electrical misconnection.

Features

•Robust over-center rocker pedal

•3 million full actuation cycle life

•Non-contact ratiometric Hall effect sensors

•Independent isolated redundant sensors

•Protected against electrical misconnection

•IP 66 sealed electronics
