Abstract
A load-adjustment device having a control element which can act on a throttle valve (e.g.) of an internal combustion engine and which is connected to a driver which is coupled to an accelerator pedal and, in addition, can be moved by means of an electric setting drive, having a desired-value-detection element associated with the driver and an actual-value detection element which cooperates with the desired-value detection element and acts on the electric setting drive, the electric setting drive being controllable as a function of the detected values of an electronic control device. The driver, the control element, the desired-value detection element, the actual-value detection element and the setting drive are arranged in the throttle-valve housing, the driver and the control element being coupled by means of a coupling spring and the control element being urged in the direction towards a stop of the driver.
