Overview
The MK1800 pedal force sensor measures the force applied to a pedal with fast response and high precision. Its thin, lightweight construction makes installation easy, and it accurately captures pedal intention and force magnitude from 0 to 150 kN.
Key Features
- Thin and light body is quick to mount on pedals or levers
- Fast response captures rapid pedal movements faithfully
- High precision for accurate force-intention analysis
- Robust design withstands repeated dynamic loading
Applications
Automotive brake pedal testing, electric bicycle pedal-assist control, fitness equipment load measurement and ergonomics studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the MK1800 record dynamic pedal force curves?
Yes. Its fast response makes it suitable for capturing complete force-versus-time pedal curves used in brake testing and pedal-assist tuning.
How is the sensor mounted?
The thin housing mounts between the pedal and its linkage using standard fixtures; a custom mounting adapter can be supplied on request.
