Abstract: An accelerator pedal device for an x-by-wire system of a motor vehicle, having a housing, a pedal lever, which is rotatably mounted on the housing via a first bearing and via a second bearing which is axially spaced from the first bearing, and a load component which is designed in such a way that the pedal lever is radially loaded by the load component at the bearings, wherein both bearings are formed by a bearing surface of the pedal lever and a corresponding mating bearing surface of the housing, and wherein the bearing surface and the corresponding mating bearing surface of one of the bearings or both bearings are made conical on one side in the axial direction or one of the bearing is made conical on both sides.

Abstract: A pedal emulator for a vehicle that comprises a pedal lever that can be rotated about a first axis of rotation, a power generation unit that has a coupling element mechanically coupled to the pedal lever, and a reset carrier rotatable about a second axis of rotation. The power generation unit is set up to apply a counterforce to the pedal lever via the coupling element. A mechanical operative connection between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation can be established via the coupling element. The coupling element is deformable when a driver exerts an actuating force on the pedal lever that is greater than the predefined maximum actuating force. The pedal emulator also has a first rotary sensor to detect a first rotation on the first axis of rotation and a second rotary sensor to detect a second rotation on the second axis of rotation.
