Brake Pedal Force Sensor Detects Driver's Intent
Description
The micro strain gauge Brake Pedal Force Sensor for electromechanical brakes (EMBs) enables safer and better-performing braking systems by accurately and rapidly capturing a driver’s braking intent.
Able to withstand forces up to 600N (scalable to other forces as well), the sensor meets functional safety requirements up to ASIL C and can operate at temperatures up to 284°F (140°C). The compact design, flexible integration options, and variety of outputs allow engineers to customize the sensor for their application.
