DENSO’s small, long-lasting accelerator pedal module feels the same to drivers as a conventional mechanical accelerator pedal.

DENSO Technology – Leading the World

• In 2002, DENSO introduced the world’s first accelerator pedal module that integrated DENSO’s non-contact revolution sensor with a pedal part, achieving long life and small size. The accelerator pedal module, including the pedal part is made of resin, resulting in light weight.

Benefits and Features

• Long life and high reliability
  • The non-contact revolution sensor lasts longer than contact type sensors.
  • The non-contact revolution sensor has two hall ICs which detect the pedal revolution, and one of the hall ICs works as a safety sensor, providing high reliability.
• Small size and light weight
  • Integrating the non-contact sensor with the pedal part and making the accelerator pedal module of resin result in small size and light weight.
• Excellent drivability
  • DENSO’s accelerator pedal module has specific hysteretic pedal force characteristics (see the graph below), providing the same feeling as mechanical accelerator pedals.
• High flexibility
  • The electric output characteristics of the sensor can be set in accordance with customer’s specifications.
  • DENSO provides two types of accelerator pedal modules – resin rod type and iron rod type – to meet customer’s needs.
