Abstract: An accelerator pedal includes a rotational position sensor, and a pivotal actuation element coupled to a rotor in the rotational position sensor to rotate the rotor in the rotational position sensor in relation to a stator in the rotational position sensor. The actuation element is pivotally supported such that it can pivot about am actuation rotational axis. The rotor in the rotational position sensor is rotationally supported such that it can rotate about a sensor rotational axis. The actuation rotational axis and the sensor rotational axis are different axes, and there is a gearing between the actuation element and the rotor that converts a pivoting of the actuation element into a rotation of the rotor.

Abstract: A vehicle pedal for a motor vehicle that includes a base plate, which may be attached to the body of the motor vehicle, a pedal plate, which is configured to absorb a mechanical force from a driver and which is pivotable relative to the base plate, and at least one hinge via which the base plate and the pedal plate are coupled with each other in a pivoting manner. The vehicle pedal also includes a spring unit, which is coupled with the pedal plate and extends in parallel or essentially in parallel to the pedal plate, and a lever unit, which is coupled with the spring unit and includes a lever arm and a sensor. The mechanical force may be transferred to the sensor of the lever unit via the spring unit and the lever arm of the lever unit. The sensor converts the mechanical force into electrical force.

Abstract: A rotary encoder for a motor vehicle, construction machinery, agricultural machinery or special machinery, at least having a rotor with a rotor element mounted on it in a torsionally resistant manner, a sensor unit designed to determine an angular position of the rotor element, and a housing, wherein the sensor unit is mounted in the housing and the rotor is rotatably mounted on the housing, wherein the rotor element is arranged in a nominal position relative to the sensor unit, in such a way that a rotational movement of the rotor can be detected via the sensor unit. The rotor is designed in several parts and comprises a rotor carrier as well as a torsionally resistant rotor adapter mounted thereon, wherein the rotor carrier is mounted on the housing in a rotatable manner, and wherein the rotor element is torsionally mounted on the rotor carrier.

Abstract: A sensor is provided with a sheet metal element and a carrier. The sheet metal element is arranged on a first side of the carrier, the sheet metal element extends within a ring that lies between an inner circle and an outer circle. The sheet metal element includes cutting structures that are cut into retaining elements of the carrier for fastening the sheet metal element to the carrier.
