The invention relates to an accelerator pedal module for controlling the power of a driving engine having a pedal lever held rotatably about a pivot axis by means of a pivot connection on a bearing block, which pedal lever can be made to strike an associated bearing block stop by at least one pedal lever stop. In the region of the pedal lever stop and/or the bearing block stop, elasticities are present such that during a relative rotary motion executed about the pivot axis between the pedal lever and the bearing block to establish the pivot connection, the pedal lever stop slides past the bearing block stop because of elastic deformations and after springing back engages the bearing block stop from behind.

Accelerator pedal module

An accelerator module actuated by the driver's foot for controlling the output of a driving engine or motor of a motor vehicle employs a friction element for generating a friction hysteresis for the purpose of achieving a comfortable driving feel. Support of the pedal lever is completely independent of the generation of the friction hysteresis, resulting in a particularly favorable, especially stable, and play-free support of the pedal lever, and the brake insert for generating the friction hysteresis is particularly easy to manufacture.
