Abstract: A magnetic rotational position sensor assembly for measurement of a rotational angular position of a rotating structure. The sensor assembly includes a shaft member extending along a primary rotational axis for primary rotational movement in response to rotation of the rotating structure, a motion conversion member structured and configured to transform the primary rotational movement of the shaft member into secondary movement, a magnet member secured to the motion conversion member for displacement along a travel path in response to the converted secondary movement of the motion conversion member, and a non-contact magnetic sensor that senses a change in position of the magnet member by sensing a corresponding variation in the magnetic field during displacement of the magnet member along the travel path in response to rotation of the rotating structure, wherein the magnetic sensor generates an output signal representative of a relative rotational angular position of the rotating structure.

Abstract: A pedal assembly including a pedal support and a pedal member rotatably coupled to the pedal support to allow pivotal movement of the pedal member about a pivot axis. The pedal assembly further includes a friction member having a bearing surface, and a clamp member engaged with the pedal member and having an engagement surface abutting the bearing surface of the friction member to define at least two separate and distinct surface contact regions. The pedal assembly also includes a biasing member arranged to bias the clamp member to provide frictional engagement along the separate and distinct surface contact regions to resist pivotal movement of the pedal member. In one embodiment, the clamp member is engaged with the pedal member by a sliding pivot configured to allow the clamp member to be pivotally and slidably displaced relative to the pedal member during pivotal movement of the pedal member.
