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.
