ABSTRACT:
A position transducer in which an external full-load stop of a pedal and a stop inside a housing for a transducer shaft is adapted to one another in such a way as to assure that a maximum allowable adjusting torque acting upon the transducer shaft will not be exceeded. According to the invention, in the transmission chain between a pedal, the actuating member, a transmission member embodied for instance as a Bowden cable, the driver member and the transducer shaft, a prestressed elastic element is integrated, which by way of example is disposed between the Bowden cable and the driver member and is embodied by the compression spring. To attain the prestressing of the compression spring, the driver member is supported on the actuating member. The compression spring prevents an impermissible adjusting torque on the transducer shaft. The position transducer is suitable for installation in motor vehicles, where it is used to convert a pedal position into an electrical adjusting signal.
