BRAKE PEDAL EMULATOR WITH INTEGRATED SENSOR COMPONENTS

A pedal assembly, a sensing system, and a method for making the same. The sensing system has a first sensor assembly and a second sensor assembly on each side of the assembly. A first element (inductance sensor) and another element (Hall effect sensor) are spaced apart from respective target and magnet to sense displacement of the pedal arm. The target and magnet are connected and pivotally fixed to the pivotal shaft(s) for pivoting in concert therewith and for allowing relative axial movement between. An essentially constant spacing between the first and second elements (inductance and HE sensors) in the axial direction is maintained. Further, the sensing system provides a redundancy for adjustments in build tolerance and pedal lateral movement during operation/loading.
