Vehicle pedal for a motor vehicle, method for operating a vehicle pedal for a motor vehicle, motor vehicle

A vehicle pedal for a motor vehicle, the vehicle pedal comprising:

• a base plate attachable to the body of the motor vehicle;
• a pedal plate configured to absorb a mechanical force from a driver and which is pivotable relative to the base plate;
• at least one hinge, via which the base plate and the pedal plate are coupled with each other in a pivoting manner;
• a spring unit coupled with the pedal plate, the spring unit extending in parallel or essentially in parallel to the pedal plate;
• and
• a lever unit coupled with the spring unit, the lever unit having a lever arm and a sensor,
• wherein a mechanical force is transferable to the sensor of the lever unit via the spring unit and the lever arm of the lever unit,
• wherein the sensor converts the mechanical force into electrical force,
• wherein the spring unit includes an articulation piece, which is configured to couple the spring unit with the lever unit or to receive the lever arm of the lever unit, with the aid of a setting pin of the spring unit, and
• wherein the articulation piece of the spring unit has a friction surface, which is in contact with a back side of the pedal plate.
