Abstract:
A pedal assembly for a vehicle including a pedal housing and a pedal arm coupled to the housing. A friction generating assembly associated with the housing includes at least an actuator which is engaged by the pedal arm, a brake pad engaged by the actuator, and springs which engage against the brake pad. Arms on the brake pad are adapted to engage with either an interior central wall or interior peripheral wall of the friction generating assembly. In one embodiment, the friction generating assembly defines a separate module which is snap fitted into a cavity defined in the pedal housing. A magnet is coupled to the pedal arm. A sensor is coupled to the pedal housing and positioned in proximity to the magnet. The sensor is responsive to movement of the magnet to generate an electrical signal that is representative of the position of the pedal arm.
