A hydraulic foot pedal is a pilot control device that directly modulates a hydraulic circuit, offering a direct, connected feel for operators in applications such as construction and material handling machinery. An electronic foot pedal sends a precise digital signal (such as CAN bus, PWM, or analog) to your machine's ECU. This architecture is essential for modern off-highway vehicles, enabling flexible software-defined response curves, advanced diagnostics, and seamless integration with intelligent systems such as ADAS.

You need a functionally safe foot pedal for any safety-critical machine function where a component failure could lead to harm. This is mandatory for applications such as travel drives and primary braking systems according to global safety standards such as ISO 13849. Our electronic pedals are available with redundant sensor systems to achieve up to Performance Level d (PLd), ensuring your machine meets rigorous safety regulations in any operational region, from Europe to North America.

Bosch Rexroth foot pedals are engineered for durability in the most demanding off-highway environments, from muddy construction sites to dusty agricultural fields. Featuring robust metal housings and sealing with high IP ratings (e.g., IP67), they are rigorously tested against water, chemicals, vibration, and extreme temperatures. This proven robustness ensures reliable performance and maximum machine uptime, no matter the climate or location.

To ensure seamless integration into diverse cabin designs found across the global mobile machinery market, our foot pedals are primarily offered in a versatile floor-mounted configuration. Many models can be specified with or without a base plate, thus giving your design engineers the necessary flexibility. For specific requirements, such as suspended pedals, we recommend consulting our regional application experts.
