Overview

The Michigan Scientific Low Profile Brake Pedal Force Transducer 3 (BPFT3) is a precision strain gage based transducer. It attaches directly onto a vehicle’s brake pedal quickly and securely by removing the rubber pad from the vehicle’s brake pedal and tightening the single retaining bolt to the padless pedal.

The measurement range is from 0 to 2200N (230 kg), with an accuracy of 0.5% of full scale even when the force is not perfectly centered. The Transducer is delivered with a calibration certificate.

Installation

The sensor mounts directly on the original pedal, after removing the rubber coating. It is tightened with a single screw. Designed to accommodate the brake pedal size of most manual transmission equipped vehicles, the low profile and size closely duplicates the shape and feel of a production brake pedal, while adding minimal height and weight. It features high accuracy for both on-center and off-center loading.
