Pedal System - Application

The adjustable operator pedal system is manufactured by Teleflex Morse for use in school buses. The system provides a range of positions for the brake and accelerator pedals to accommodate different drivers.

School Bus

The adjustable system is required because the driver seat is locked in a predetermined position to fix the distance between the driver and the safety air bags.

This fixed distance insures that the air bags will deploy properly and protect the driver in an accident.

The pedal system uses electric motors to adjust the pedal positions to the driver’s comfort.
