DESCRIPTION
The ET-S
and ET-S2
bulkhead mounted electronic treadles. On electronically
controlled diesel engines, the electronic treadle fulfills the
same function as a conventional mechanical throttle.
However, rather than transmitting a mechanical force to the
engine governor, the electronic treadle controls engine speed
by supplying a variable electrical voltage to the engine's
electronic controller.
The main components of the ET-S
are: a mounting plate, suspended treadle, potentiometer
(variable resistor), actuator body and base. The selected
potentiometer, chosen for a specific engine application,
provides the electrical link to the engine control system.
OPERATION
The electronic treadles provide smooth, graduated throttle
control through the function of its potentiometer (variable
resistor). The drive shaft of the cam follower assembly
transfers any movement of the treadle to the potentiometer.
