A Design Study in Nickel-Aluminum Bronze                                        

Pedal System Requirements

  • Because the components are safety-critical, they have to meet rigorous strength (torque loading) and cyclic fatigue requirements.

  • The components have stringent dimensional tolerances on the machined bores and slots for fit and assembly.

  • The lower components must also resist corrosion and abrasion from slush, snow, deicing agents, and gravel on the operator's shoes.
