Pedal position sensors are essential components of modern automotive braking and acceleration systems, contributing to both safety and performance by providing accurate feedback on the status of the pedal to the engine control unit.
CTS has a long history of experience in pedal position technology, we offer customizable products and capabilities ranging from a simple switch to a dual output sensor. From accelerators to clutches and brakes, rotary or linear, contacting or non-contacting (Hall effect), we can design a packaged solution to function on a range of pedals. For EVs with Brake by Wire systems, our eBrake™, provides a fully integrated pedal solution that integrates a mechanical brake pedal with up to 6 position sensors and 1 switch.

A brake position sensor is a component used in automotive braking systems to detect the position or status of the brake pedal. The primary function of the sensor is to detect whether the brake pedal is being pressed, released, or at an intermediate position. It provides feedback to the vehicle's electronic control systems, such as the engine control module (ECM) or the anti-lock braking system (ABS), to assist in various functions related to braking performance, safety, and efficiency. CTS creates a wide range of building blocks that manufacturers can integrate into vehicle designs, giving engineers more freedom and variation. Our sensor teams can work directly with engineers to package and fit the correct sensor into systems to ensure all requirements are met.
