Pedal Effort Force Sensors

For Vehicle Brake Development, Driveability & Handling Test Applications

PCB® Series 1515-106 Pedal Effort Force Sensors are designed to measure load applied to the brake, accelerator, and clutch pedals during acceleration, deceleration, and transmission shift events. The units are compact and light weight, making them easy to install and remove. These sensors also have a high overload protection (500% of FS) which prevents damage to the sensor in the event of a vehicle panic stop. All models include an anti-slip spherical loading surface to minimize the effects of off-axis loading. Temperature-compensated to +130 °F (+ 54 °C), and with standard capacities of 100, 200, and 300 lbf (0.44, 0.89, and 1.33 kN), these sensors are durable and accommodating for your automotive testing requirements.

As with all PCB® instrumentation, these sensors are complemented with toll-free applications assistance, 24-hour technical service, and are backed by a no risk policy that guarantees total customer satisfaction or your money refunded.
