Abstract
A vehicular pedal assembly includes a pedal housing, a pedal shaft supported by the pedal housing for rotation about a pedal axis, a pedal arm coupled to the pedal shaft pivotable to drive the pedal shaft to rotate about the pedal axis, and a position sensor assembly coupled to the pedal shaft to determine a rotational position of the pedal shaft. The position sensor assembly includes a target element, a sensor circuit that senses the target element and generates a signal, and a sensor shaft fixed for corotation with the pedal shaft. The target element is positioned on the sensor shaft and rotates with the sensor shaft about a sensor axis to move the target element with respect to the sensor circuit and change the signal generated by the sensor circuit. The pedal shaft is movable along the pedal axis relative to the sensor shaft.
