Abstract
A brake pedal path simulator, with a restoring device which exerts a restoring force with a progressive force-path characteristic curve on a pedal. The restoring device includes at least two permanent magnets, whose mutually repelling poles are oriented toward each other, one of which magnets is connected to the pedal and is guided in a direction of the resultant repelling magnetic force of the other magnet.
Claims21
A brake pedal path simulator, comprising a restoring means which exerts a restoring force with a progressive force-path characteristic curve on a pedal (6), in which the restoring means includes at least first and second magnets (10, 20), whose mutually repelling poles are oriented toward each other, said second magnet is connected to the pedal (6) and is guided so that the magnet moves in a direction of a resultant repelling magnetic force of said first magnet.
