Abstract: A pedal for a motor vehicle is provided, having a pedal arm with at least one first resetting spring and with a friction system comprising a separate friction element and a friction surface of the base part corresponding to the separate friction element. The friction system features a rocker arranged in a rotatable manner on the base part and the at least one first resetting spring is arranged between the separate friction element and the rocker. The separate friction element is connected in a pressure-transmitting manner with the pedal arm by the at least one first resetting spring and at least one connection element. At least one second resetting spring is arranged between one bearing part connected in a pressure-transmitting manner with the pedal arm by the at least one connection element and the base part or the rocker.

Abstract: A pedal emulator for a vehicle, having a rotational axis, a pedal lever that can be rotated about the rotational axis, and a force generation unit for exerting a counterforce on the pedal lever via at least one coupling element of the force generation unit that is mechanically coupled to the pedal lever. The counterforce acting in the opposite direction to an actuation force exerted on the pedal lever. The force generation unit can be designed such that a curve of the counterforce along a pedal path of the pedal lever is in the form of a non-linear curve in a pedal path-counterforce diagram.

Abstract: A pedal emulator for a vehicle is provided comprising a base part for mounting the pedal emulator to a structure of the vehicle. A pedal lever is pivotable around a rotary axis of the base part. A force generation unit exerts a counterforce on the pedal lever by means of at least one coupling element for mechanically coupling the force generation unit with the pedal lever. The counterforce works counter to an actuating force exerted on the pedal lever. The force generation unit and the coupling element are designed and arranged in such a way that a progression of the counterforce along a pedal travel of the pedal lever (6) takes the form of a non-linear progression in a pedal travel-counterforce diagram.

Abstract: A braking system for a vehicle, having a brake pedal, a position sensor unit for determining position data regarding an actuation distance and/or a pivot angle of the brake pedal of the vehicle, a force sensor unit for determining force data regarding an operating force with which the brake pedal is operated, a control unit, and an additional control unit. The position sensor unit has a signal connection to the control unit and to the additional control unit for transmitting the position data to the control unit as well as to the additional control unit. The force sensor unit has a signal connection to the control unit and to the additional control unit for transmitting the force data to the control unit as well as to the additional control unit.

Abstract: In order to provide a pedal for a motor vehicle in which restoration of the pedal arm to its rest position is improved, it is proposed that a friction system has a rocker and the first return spring is disposed between the separate friction element and the rocker such that when the pedal arm moves in the direction of its maximum actuation position, the rocker is pressed against a friction surface of the separate friction elements in a friction force-generating manner, wherein the separate friction element is connected to the pedal arm in a compressive force-transmitting manner by means of the at least one first return spring, a bearing part for a second return spring, and a connecting element, and wherein the second return spring is disposed between the bearing part and the base part or the bearing part and the rocker.
