ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a sensor unit, integrated in a pedal-box, for the determination of the angular position of a pedal lever (1), in the form of an inductive non-contact separation sensor, comprising a stationary sensor head (3) and a sensor element (4), moving with the pedal lever (1). The sensor head (3), oriented transverse to the pedal axis (6), is directed at the sensor element (4), which moves with the pivoting pedal lever (1) in the direction of the main sensor, such as to alter the separation. The separation of the sensor head (3) and the sensor element (4) influences the electrical signal generated by the sensor head (3), from the values of which, inferences can be drawn about the position of the pedal. Two adjacent pedal levers (1) are arranged on a common housing (5), each with one of the integrated sensor heads (3).
