Abstract
A pedal system for the generation of a force path having hysteresis when a pedal is actuated. The system includes a pedal that is supported such that it can pivot between at least a first position and a second position. The pedal has a sliding element having a sliding surface, as well as a bearing device having at least one friction surface for supporting the sliding surface of the sliding element. The bearing device is supported such that it can pivot about a bearing axle. The friction surface and the sliding surface are in contact with one another in a first contact section when the pedal is in the first position, and are in contact with one another in a second contact section when the pedal is in the second position. The first contact section and the second contact section have different lever arms to the bearing axle.
