Directional Pedals

The active pedal assembly is a combination of one integrated control loading actuator consisting of motor, gearbox and electronics, two single axis force sensors and pedal arrangement. The pedal arrangement includes longitudinal positioning of the pedals and integrated pedal heel brakes.

A force sensorless variant (passive) of the directional pedals is also available.

The main features of the system include:

  • High fidelity brushless DC motor with integrated control electronics
  • Easily mountable to the cockpit structure
  • CAN bus interface for actuator control from the System Control Module
  • Built-in left and right pedal force sensors with digital output
  • Generic heel brakes with switches 

The following specifications are based on the standard gear ratio. Gear ratios can be changed to adjust the maximum torque to meet application requirements.
