Abstract
An accelerator pedal includes a rotational position sensor, and a pivotal actuation element coupled to a rotor in the rotational position sensor to rotate the rotor in the rotational position sensor in relation to a stator in the rotational position sensor. The actuation element is pivotally supported such that it can pivot about am actuation rotational axis. The rotor in the rotational position sensor is rotationally supported such that it can rotate about a sensor rotational axis. The actuation rotational axis and the sensor rotational axis are different axes, and there is a gearing between the actuation element and the rotor that converts a pivoting of the actuation element into a rotation of the rotor.
